Install Ubuntu to harddrive and then have on boot it load all OS onto RAM as "Ramdisk" while saving changes on shutdown of machine, how do I do this? I have more than enough ram, but slow harddrive.

here is how to do a standard install:

note: what do you mean by "load all OS" ? when you boot, you first get a list of installed OS (the grub menu list) where you select one to boot on. There is no way to load several at once.

Wont that be like normal install?

But I want to install normally but have at boot time all of drive copied to RAM and then run off of RAM. Like SLAX Linux did / could do years ago.
