MEMBANGUN SISTEM LINUX MANDRAKE MINIMAL MENGGUNAKAN INISIAL DISK RAM
ABSTRACT: Minimal Linux system
is commonly used for special systems like router, gateway, Linux installer and
diskless Linux system. Minimal Linux system is a Linux system that use a few
facilities of all Linux capabilities. Mandrake Linux, as one of Linux
distribution is able to perform minimal Linux system.
RAM is a computer resource that especially used as main memory. A part of RAM’s function can be changed into
disk called RAM disk. This RAM disk can be used to run the Linux system. This
paper explains how the Mandrake Linux system can be run in a RAM disk. The RAM
disk which is used to run Linux system is loaded at the moment of initialization
of Linux system. This RAM disk is called initial RAM disk (initrd). The Linux
kernel which support initrd and a boot loader are needed to develop this
system. The initrd file system that content Linux root system is created in
this research. This initrd file is loaded into the RAM disk using a boot loader.
This experiment shows that the Linux system can be run in the RAM disk.
The Linux system that can be run is minimal Linux system because of the RAM
disk capacity limitation.
