http://askubuntu.com – I want to install Ubuntu 11 on my Dell Mini 9. Using ubuntu.com, I created a USB drive. I was successful in running Ubuntu 11 from the USB drive. However, I could not install Ubuntu 11 from the USB drive. There was a screen that had a checklist of three items on it. One of them was having enough memory on my hard disk, which I do not. The hard disk is just too small. The installation process was blocked because of this lack of memory. However, I understand Ubuntu does not necessarily need all the memory specified, that smaller installs using less memory are possible. This sounds promi (HowTos)

My server has huge memory. However, the amount of IO, each of which is small, is huge.

I wonder if there is a way to make a virtual drive that uses the memory for hard disk?

Hi, I intend to create an Ubuntu (12.04 386) based "PC on a Disk on key) as part of my preparation for a long trip.
