You can create ramdisks of the size you want: 10M, 20M, etc.
Locate the function make_lilo() in "Mu" and modify the parameter
ramdisk_size= (actually 4600).
Please, explore the command /usr/bin/ftpget: it is useful for you.
With some little hacking, you can move thttpd from SRV to BASE.
Please, read the file /setup/fun/httpd.fun
