To run a hidden service, you first need to run a service, like a web
page.  To run a web page you need to have some web pages and an apache
server.  You would further need php and mysql if you want a blog or
wiki.  On top of that you run tor.  See
http://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-hidden-service.html.en

But all the ramdisk image has in it is a kernel, 3 binaries (tor, ntpd
and busybox) and one ash script.  You can't run the service there.  I
guess you could run it on another machine behind tor-ramdisk.

With tor-ramdisk I was just thinking of running a relay or exit node
where you could just pull the plug and poof!  Nothing to see here ...
