I did the HD install, which works great except that it still stores everything on the ramdrive. How can I modify the HD install to run entirely off of the HD without any ramdrive at all?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
There shouldn't be a RAM drive left after a hard disk install.
If your run the mount command, you should see something similar to:
[root@probe root]# mount
/dev/hda1 on / type ext3 (rw)
none on /proc type proc (rw)
none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
usbdevfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbdevfs (rw)
[root@probe root]#
Do you see something a lot different when you run the mount command (why do you suspect a RAM disk is present)?
If you are refering to /dev/shm, that's not an actual RAM disk, but something that is standard on a Linux boot (at least on a Fedora distribution) for temporary space.
I hate to ask it, but is it possible that you forgot to remove the CD from the computer before rebooting?
