Linux can take compressed RO FS's and work with them as a ramdisk. Of
course, it would probably be better if you are using a IDE emulator to
do something like cramfs or whatever succeeded it to make a compressed
and RO FS that is then able to run from the flash instead of eating up
ram. Basically, you would be taking a chapter from the PDA people.
