I make the file system read only?
You probably need to run out of a RAMdisk. I think
www.Knoppix.net has
documentation on this. There also used to be a howto on
www.tldp.org.
> I few more questions.
> Do I need to have a swap partition?
No. It's recommended, but Linux will run fine without swap as long as you
don't run out of RAM :).
> Should Linux run correctly with swap partition on a secondary HDD?
Yes.
> Does Linux scratch files like Windows?
???
Do you mean "use scratch files"?
If so, some apps do, but not all. There are configs to turn off these
functions. Knoppix configs have them set.
