I thought about to do some other thing.
What about to put a list of files and the setup script at the start records
of any disk. And the following Binaries are loaded from an ofset.
(I think that Michele does some thing like that. Cos I have read something
about ofset in the scripts.)
So we are able to create a new Addon and some scripts (like summary Info,
script itself...) and put both things on that disk.
So you mustn't load the complete Disk into RAM :( (Might be low)
