My friends, alert! muLinux DO NOT install in 4mega if, during setup,
we ask to load the USR segment also.
In the first floppy there are 3 segment: BOOT (mountable), ROOT (gzip)
and USR(bzip2). In ROOT we find the basic command for installing and
cloning, but not mkfs.ext2. This means: EXT2FS cloning do not work,
without USR segment. If user ask for this kind of cloning, muLinux
load also USR and all slow down definitively.
I installed old release of muLinux in 386 with 4M: using swap, I also
succeded to run X. In new release, ROOT segment is increasing, because
I've got "inodes" (the max number of files) problem in this partition.
The original intention was: using ROOT's commands muLinux clone in HD;
at next boot, it load also USR.
If you see the /usr partition mounted in a 386/4m, than something does
wrong and cloning do not will work. USR is a bzip2 archive and take
MUCH ram to uncompress.
