tor-ramdisk 20101011 released for i686 only

[Damian Johnson]

One option for providing feedback on the health of the relay would be arm (
www.atagar.com/arm) with the following config changes to keep with the aims
of tor-ramdisk:
# would prevent any connection related information from being queried
startup.blindModeEnabled true

# crops log messages after a day
features.log.entryDuration 1

This would provide the user with:
- ps information (cpu/mem usage, uptime)
- basic relay information (fingerprint, flags held, version, etc)
- config (currently loaded torrc)
- the last day's worth of logs
- graph of the bandwidth usage

The last two give a very good indication for if the relay's working right or
not. If this is too much information then I'd be happy to augment arm to
meet your needs. Cheers! -Damian
