I don't see any reason why the images would need to be on the root HD. The script requires somewhere in the region of 15GB of free space to create the required disk images. I imagine some cleverer than myself might be able to squeeze that down somewhat, but I don't think you could do it in RAM anyway. Maybe you could have the live DVD partition and format a HD for use by the script. It's not something that I have given a lot of thought. It all a bit crazy anyway, if you are going to download a live DVD to make an install DVD, then why not download a pre made install DVD? Apparently I'm knitting with one needle as it is, so perhaps I should stay clear of these crazy ideas.
