I’ve read articles of people running linux live cd’s off of computer with no os, It needs atleast 2-5 mb of space to save the resources and stuff like that, I wonder if you had a computer with no hard drive, but like a 128 mb flash thumbdrive,I don’t know where i’m going with this, so I am going to look more now. :thumb:

That approach has been (is being) considered. From what I read it was directed towards a college environment where students just ran the OS of a a read-only disk and used their portable harddrives (pendrieves or whathaveyou) to store what they needed etc.

the idea was to have improved security with minimal access to the actual OS, so really, anything you do wouldnt be permanent aside from whats your own personal drive.
