    My bad. I should have said "what other files in /etc need
    to be writeable." BootCD already cleans /var and /tmp and
    they use < 200K of the ramfile at boot.

    BTW, I ran "find /etc -mmin -10" and got:
    mtab, motd, network/, network/ifstate, and adjtime
    Plus several lockfiles in /etc/vmware/.../smb/.../lock
    and etc/hotplug/net.enable.

    I also added fstab and hostname as these will be
    convenient to edit.

    I haven't tested it yet.
