- I'm assuming what you're trying to say is that you want your new cool
- icon to appear as the Ram Disk icon every time you boot up. The problem
- is that the icon has to be stored in RAM: as the file disk.info, and of
- course, it goes away every time you reboot.
-
- Solution:
-
- Save your cool icon somewhere (I keep mine in my Icons directory with all
- the other cool ones). Now add the following lines to your
- startup-sequence:
-
- copy >nil: icons:your.cool.icon ram:
- rename >nil: ram:your.cool.icon ram:disk.info
-
- Of course, icons: should be replaced with the name of your directory with
- the cool icon, and your.cool.icon with the name of your icon. You
- shouldn't name it disk.info, though, or it won't show up when you look at
- the directory from workbench.
-
- Do this at a point in the startup-sequence BEFORE the workbench screen
- opens, and the >nil: is important!
