What are RAM disks? How are they used during installation?
What will be an ideal response?
A RAM disk is random access (system) memory that is made to look like a
hard disk. Tools used during the installation process are copied to RAM
disks. RAM disks allow the installation process to run through the specifi-
cation and design phases without writing to the hard disk. Thus RAM disks
enable you to quit installing the system and, unless the installer initialized
the hard disk, leave the hard disk as it was at any point before the system
warns it is going to write to the hard disk.
