Hello ,
I am Eddy from Bucharest , Romania .
I had trouble too to install muLinux on floppys and hdd and I found some
interesting document on LDP site called "BootDisk HOWTO"
You should read it , it's very interesting , specially when you want to build
your own mini linux system. MuLinux it's based approx. on the same concepts.
On my machine , the linux install fails.When I try to boot LILO show me only LI
?!
So I decide to install from DOS.
First , you must format the diskette(s) with 1772M capacity.
In Linux there is sintax :
fdformat /dev/fd0H1772
In DOS you must load first an utility program in TSR , called fdread
After , you could use fdformat (DOS version of course ..) to format your disk(s)
with 1772M.
Then , copy the images of mulinux with rawrite
Hope useful,
