once upon a release there was an ability to install linux within an
existing filesystem (eg vfat), without creating a separate partition,
without creating a file to contain a virtual partition, and i don't think
it ran with a ram based root filesystem either, rather it somehow contrived
the extra filesystem data that wasn't provided by the underlying (eg if
vfat) filesystem, and stored all files as files in that filesystem.  does
anyone know the terminology for this, and/or what distros/releases/versions
can/could do it?
