2.0rc1 Installer, FLASH settings, etc.

In the minor things category, the installer, once you select flash install, 
explains the flash size and mentions the percentage as an option and will 
allow you to enter it but it does not write the percentage of ram to the 
flash settings file, only a MB value is actually written. 

I still maintain that since TMPFS can be mounted in % as well as MB, 50% 
seems to work best in nearly all situations. If there is only 128MB of ram, 
the /ram partition will be 64MB which is on the minimum side but will work. 
128MB of ram would also be the bottom rung for IPCop 2 as far as the amount 
of ram you should be running.

I also think that the flash settings should be part of the backup. If % is 
used, there is no danger of having too large a /ram partition when you move 
the same configuration to a machine that has less ram than the previous. 
Actually, 50% is the default TMPFS size. 

In a third Raq I just set up WLAN AP on to try (and succeeded), I set the 
flash settings to 50% and then simply issued the command mount -o remount -t 
tmpfs -o size=50% tmpfs /ram. As expected with TMPFS, no data loss occured 
nor has it ever for me doing remounts of TMPFS.

I hope I am not being too nitpicky here.
