I'm currently running the Linux SMP client on a windows box (in VMWare), but I know it would be much faster native. However, I can't repartition that box. Even though it isn't being used for anything else right now, I need to keep it intact for future work requests.

Is there a live 64bit distro with the 32 bit extentions that can fold entirely in memory?

And if so where can I get it?

I'll look around for the distro. I know I saw a discussion of one on the F@H Linux forum but don't remember where.

Why not just add an old hard drive and boot from it until the other partition is needed? I have a collection of drives I have dug up this winter from 40 mb to 20 gb. Some of them might even work.

I even think I saw a 20 mb MFM drive but don't remember if it was a Seagate or a Conner. Afraid to look too closely.
