For me, this is the only step at which I need to be root.
If there's a way around it, I haven't bothered to find it.

Subject: Creating RAM disks as a non root user.
All,
I've got to create a RAM disk for our new system. I've found this little
utility called genext2fs the web site is
http://sourceforge.net/projects/genext2fs/
<http://sourceforge.net/projects/genext2fs/> but my question.
What do other people use to do this? Why should I have to become the root
user just to create a RAM disk I can do everything else without becoming
root on my development machine. I would like to be able to make this next
step as well.
Regards,
Rod Boyce.
