: Put this line in CONFIG.SYS.

: DEVICEHIGH=C:\WINDOWS\RAMDRIVE.SYS 16384 512 64 /E

: This installs a 16384K (16M) RAMDrive. Change this number as

Except that I advice against a ramdrive bigger than 8MiB using
Microsnoft's implementation if you are using WINDOZE 4.0 or 4.1
(i. e. 95 or 98) as LFN stops working at too big a size.
