   Yes. It's not the cost of a new SDcard that is the issue it's the   
   convenience. If I'm working away from home and want to access the home   
   equipment then I can. If the SDcard fails through write failure and I'm   
   away and in a time zone 8-10hrs different then my lovely wife will not   
   be pleased if I ring her at 3am her time and ask her to get up and swap   
   the SDcard! You can guarantee it will fail at the least convenient time.   
      
   Anyway, it's a few lines changed in /etc/mtab to mount bits of /var on   
   the ramdisk.
