I have no idea how linux - or live cd's work (I just HAVE to look into
that) - but I know that all files that is created "inside" d:b will be
removed (or lost) when the system is shut down. But I don't think you'll
have problem with RAM once you dock.

Actually, d:b just reads from the dyne folder - no data i ever written.

In my experience, the program's speed is controlled by how fast your pc
can rotate a disc - Ie how fast it can spin your dyne:bolic cd. (I used
hydrogen in both my stationary Pentium III 733MHz, and a new hp laptop
(don't remember the specs). The stationary runned faster. The laptop
were even off sync. docking fixed it, however.)

As I said: It doesn't matter to what type of partition it's docked to,
as long as it's /mnt/hd1/1 in d:b (your c:/). (I assumed you ment
docking when you said nesting, if not read on)

Yes, a nest can be in any partitions top folder. I do believe that ntfs
currently isn't supported so you are best off with the FAT (A
memorystick is pretty neat, thou).

I hope that answered your questions. I believe that a docked (or live)
dyne:bolic isn't more ram intense than any other operating system (less
actually, since it's low-latency patches and choice of window managers).
By docking, you might get more speed - but not much more ram. However,
testing is the best way to find out. nd if you don't like it: just
uninstall it by deleting the folder.

If I'm wrong, please correct me,
