The default startup type is RAM, which is what you mostly want.

Have you tried to build & run the standard tests?  This is a
good first step, to get used to the tools and also to verify
your installation.  Something as simple as:
  % ecosconfig new viper net
  % ecosconfig tree
  % make; make tests
Then try to run the tests found in "install/tests/..."

You could also look at some of the simple "hello world" examples.
These are in the examples directory, and there is good documentation
about how to build them.

Finally, you can try the [somewhat more ambitious] examples that
I've put together.  Look at:
