For illustration purposes, they are touched beforehand. We run an active storeio translator on the ramdisk file to give us 50MB of RAM to work with, and then we make an ext2 filesystem on it. A boot CD would presumably have a ready-made image to copy into the ramdisk, so we wouldn't really need to run mke2fs. After making sure the file system is writable, we mount the image with an ext2fs translator onto tmpfs. And now we're writing files on a writable file system that originated on a readonly filesystem.
