I'm sure this is a dumb question, the answer to which has been posted
here many times before, or which is buried in my manuals ...  but

How do I set up a bootable disk so that it initially loads one or more
files to ram-disk before starting up?  (start up either from the disk or
from the ram-disk) -- the particular applications I have in mind are
getting ALL of appleworks to the ram disk (it loads some of itself, but
not all -- when you specify a printer it seems to have to have the real
disk in place) or in getting the dictionaries from a spelling checker
(pinpoint doc checker) to the ram.  I know pinpoint will charge you X$
for some utiliites to do that, but there's gotta be public domain/
and/or simple something to do it.

(This is for a //GS) (3.5" drive) (1 M RAM)
