SuSe fan? Not really, on the plus side it does use kernel 2.2.x
but bloated with KDE it runs too slowly on my box.
It does have one thing in common with Mu that is, it contains a mixture
of two languages.
But rm -Rf SuSe. The only reason I mentioned it was as a unique search
token in the corrupted linux.html.
ie.
<li><a href="http://www.suse.de">
</ul>
should be:
<li><a href="http://www.suse.de">
SUSE
</a>
</ul>
and file should be 99 lines in length not 140.
Ok I agree when bzipped it probably will not save that much space.

We now includes me: I unpacked it (./mu -u) to edit linux.html and noted
gzip's output to stderr:
"gzip: /home/clive/mu7r6/tmp/ROOT.gz: decompression OK, trailing garbage
ignored"
What has happened Michele?
