[Voyage-linux] Running Voyage without tmpfs

[rabinnh]

Voyage is the perfect mini distro for my needs, except that I want to run it as
if it were on a hard drive (no tmpfs).  I have searched the Wiki and and the
mail archives, as well as searching through scripts.

There doesn't seem to be a configuration option to run it without tmpfs and
always boot into rw, like a regular Debian installation.

So from what I can gather, you would have to change the kernel boot options in
/boot/grub/menu.lst, and then find and alter a bunch of scripts all over the 
place.

A much better way would be if I could create a tarball without any tmpfs at all,
say adding an HDD option to iso, tar, and SDK.

But I will settle for being able to remove it from an installation.  Can anybody
help me out?

BTW, for the inevitable "why do you want to do that question", I have the
installation down to 88MBs.  I am running an application that writes tiny state
files. These files cannot be lost after a power outage - they must be fully
persistent.  My CF card is 2GB.  There is no reason for me to worry about write
fatigue when I am writing 200K/day, I have 1.9GB to spare, and newer flash can
handle over 1,000,000 writes.  OTOH, I need all the RAM I can get.

Right now, Voyage is perfect for "low on storage, enough RAM".  But I am "low on
RAM, plenty of storage".

Thanks
