	Yes you can rebuild the ramdisk. There are some instructions on http://www.linux-vr.org/ramdisk.html

	The only problem I had was with the device 'files' in /dev which can't be copied, I
made a MAKEDEV script - if you need it I can dig it out for you later tonight (bear
in mind it's early morning now).

	Then just copy all of the original disk across.

	You may need to change the initial ram disk size in the kernel compile or within the
CyaCE ini file.

	Hope this gets you going,
	Simon Wood.
