I see that you guys are having great fun and success with toram. I tried it a year ago when I got a new LAN where each PC had nearly 1 GB RAM! It didn't work great for me, however, as these Dells use shared RAM for the BIOS and the Video and God knows what else!

Anyway, its obvious that you can't use apt-get on a read-only fs. However, can you make use of KLIK?
