Anyone have some recommendations for a live distro that can run from ram?
It'd be nice to have a live image that I can put on a partition, that I can then delete the partition out from under while doing a bootstrap onto that same disk. Very useful on cloud instances that aren't great about letting you bring your own ISO.
I had some weird debian-live scripts thst tried doing a tmpfs & copying a btrfs snapshot onto it and launching that, but I never felt great about it, quite a hack.

I never tried Finnix, but GRML helped me a few times so far.
