I mucked up part of my previous mail -- it should read:

To do this automatically when you power up your machine, add these lines 
to /etc/rc.local:

/sbin/mkfs -t ext3 -q /dev/ram1 16384
/bin/mount /dev/ram1 /home/user/desktop/ramdisk -o defaults,rw
/bin/chown user:root /home/user/desktop/ramdisk
/bin/chmod 0750 /home/user/desktop/ramdisk

Oops.
