  Add more :-)

  There are several options:
  
  * Add more RAM (which is obviously the  simplest  solution  from  the
    perspective of a software developer)
  
  * Reduce the size of the ramdisk - it defualts to  4  MB,  but  AFAIR
    only about 2.5 MB are used
  
  * Don't use a ramdisk at all, but instead put  your  root  filesystem
    into a cramfs or JFFS2 filesystem
  
  * Optimize the kernel  configuration  by  throwing  out  drivers  and
    filesystems  you  don't  need; the default configurations is _very_
    generic (with NFS, ext2, cramfs, JFFS, JFFS2, msdos filesystems).
  
  Hope it helps,

    How? My pRamdisk is only 955068 bytes large.

    Hmm? Is there a HOWTO for doing this?
    
    Thanks,
