Oh.  It looks like I can set the ramdrive to be what I want.  It is only when I configure it that it takes resources.  The rest are "inactive" ... right?

All,

I have been reading the RAM disk howto.  http://www.vanemery.com/Linux/Ramdisk/ramdisk.html
It seems straight forwared with the exception that it seems that putting a command to create a ram drive with say 200 megs results in all 16 or so default drive being 200 megs in size.  I only want one drive to be large and useful.  the rest of the dafault drives, I don't care about. Am I misunderstanding things?

John
