So the RAM disk is determined by the flash size?  No way to just add a 
couple meg to the RAM disk, correct?

Keep in mind the 16MB is not always 16MB.  I would say 15MB to make sure it 
will fit on all 16MB cards.  We don't need a bunch of "But I have a 16MB 
flash..." on the list. :-)  (As you remember, I was one of those on a test 
image you made)

The way I see it, you will only add 8MB to the RAM need. So this is not that 
much a bump.  Might even still fit in 64.  But it could always start with a 
4 meg bump.  That would fit.

I want it all. :-)
