What about running a system entirely from a ramdisk, installed
from an initrd? Paul Moody from down under uses this for a
flash-bootable system using a 40MB flash disk (it contains
initrd and a compressed ram disk image). He recommends
a system with 64MB total memory, used mostly by ramdisk.
Of course the same can be done with a regular IDE disk; the
IDE disk can be write-protected, even, withouth the usual
problems with /tmp
