ReactOS LiveCD copy to RAM option

Post by reactosuser7 »

A new feature to add in ReactOS LiveCD: 'Copy to RAM' option.
To copy the entire Live system in the RAM. And eject CD after that.

In the same way as PCLinux OS and Devuan copy to RAM boot option.

That's precisely why there's the "LiveCD in RAM" option in the demo images we show at FOSDEM or CLT each year, see for example:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/reacto ... DEM2017RC/
or
https://sourceforge.net/projects/reacto ... 4-CLT2017/
Check the structure of the ISOs and how this was done here: https://svn.reactos.org/svn/reactos/tag ... iew=markup
We don't do that in the release ISOs because no-one really cared so far. This may change in the near future.

And yes, the way it is done (as everywhere else) is to use a copy of the ISO in a separate ramdisk file called "livecd.iso".
