This is a quick and dirty program intended to rename /RAM5 at boot time. Why do we bother? Well, many GNO utils make use of '/tmp' (which by default resides on the '/' partition via /etc/namespace mappings) for scratch files. This "partition" should therefore be on a fast disk. A RAMDisk is a logical choice; not only is it fast, but it also is empty after each power-on. See the man page for usage information. If you decide to launch this program automatically from ProSel-16 (as I do), ensure you change the file type to S16, otherwise ProSel will always prompt you when it is done ... most annoying. This program is in the public domain. Devin Reade <gdr@trenco.gno.org> January 1996.
