Message-ID: <20020507130408.A405-100000@66-75-1-142.san.rr.com> Organization: Video2Video Services - http://Www.Video2Video.Com MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Leafing through the latest issue of "2600" magazine (http://www.2600.com) at my local newsstand, I found an article telling M$FT WinBloze users how to "set tmp=y:\..." and "set temp=y:\etc..." and also how to replace several/various registry keys so that browser cookies, history, cache, recently opened files, etc were saved to and from a RAMdisk instead of the HD. The theory is that no matter how much deletion the user does, no matter how much encryption and passwords are used, there is always swap files and something pesky called microscopy which can recover data from a HD. The article said the system will run the OS, applications and open files faster -- hence I ask: How does one set up a RAMdisk on FreeBSD? :) -- Peter Leftwich President & Founder Video2Video Services Box 13692, La Jolla, CA, 92039 USA +1-413-403-9555 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
