Running from RAM?

#1 Post by spacelime »

Suddenly my only pendrive broke down and I decided to try installing puppy to my PDA as a substitute. It's obviously booting really slow since it's USB 1.1, but also after booted, everything loads very slowly.

I thought that the whole thing was copied to the RAM, so I don't understand why it's so slow? Or is the it just the OS that is copied to RAM and the save-file loads via USB?

Your second paragraph is closer to the way it works.
