I have a database in /var/lib/mysql/ When I remaster and boot new CD, the file does not get copied to the ramdisk. It remains in the READONLY directory /KNOPPIX with only a link in the ramdisk. I have seen other posts asking for a solution to this but I have not seen any good solutions posted.

I have also noticed that some of the files under /var/ are not linked but are in fact copied over to the ramdisk. Who or what determines which files get copied over? Is it based on permissions, file ownership, wha that? Somebody please help. I have to have a bootable KNOPPIX cd with our mysql databases up and running by this weekend (3/12/05.)

I have read that moving them to /home/ might solve this problem. However, given that some /var/ files are ramdisk'ed, I am sure there is a way to ramdisk my files as well.

Any helpl greatly appreciated.
