Hi,

	if you have no hard disc, you can make a ram disc like this:

mke2fs /dev/ram0

	then mount it somewhere like this:

mount -o loop /dev/ram0 /mnt/whatever

	I haven't tried different file system types to see which is
best, but given that the MHEG files are generally quite small, something
with a small block size is probably most efficient in terms of memory
usage.

	obviously you'll need ram disc support configured in your kernel
- - CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM et al.

	hope this helps!

I am trying to port redbutton to my STB, and had success with porting the redbutton download, but i dont know how to store this contents in the DDR-RAM, Is there any specific file system which needs to be used for DDR-RAM for the successful running of the red button browser in my stb. Hope some one can help me in this regard.
