Arrow Mount / into RAM

I have prepared a small FC installation which is much less in size than the total ram available.

Any ideas on how I can run FC6 from ram?

Maybe this will help. It looks like you need to create and use a ram disk.

I've found I can create a ramdisk with
'mount -t tmpfs none /mnt/ramdisk'.

What is the best way of copying everything at start to this ram disk and using it as / ?
