It's a so called RAMDISK. You can install stuff to it (actually you
should have all your frequently changing stuff there, to not weare out
your FLASH) but it will be lost once you loose power/reboot.
So make backups frequently. (to your PC that is)
With WinCE you only had that ramdisk to install programms to (except for
the 3970 who has some flash). but WinCE is able to preserve that ramdisk
over a reboot. Linux can not do this.
