Modifying the system
----------------------


PREREQUISITES: 
---------------

Prerequisites to do  'mu -r' and 'mu -u':

- loopback device support (only)

Prerequisites to do  'mu -i':

- some diskette, of course.

The right versions of 'fdformat', 'bzip2' and 'lilo' are included.

STEPS
--------

* unpack BOOT, ROOT.gz, USR.bz2,... with 

	# mu -u

* add your kernel in 

		tree/startup/boot/mulinuz 

Warning: The muLinux kernel need of 

	- (large) ramdisk (this is NOT the initial ramdisk!) fs support
	- ext2 support
	- [ opt. ] msdos/vfat/umsdos support for UMSDOS/EXT2 
	  cloning and if your old 386 want swapfile on DOS partit.
	- initrd support. 

* add & remove modules in

		tree/startup/modules

	archive.tbz is compress with tar & bzip2.
	See README and other scripts in this directory.

	Add (if You want) the parameters of module X in the file X.param

	Warning: check the size of your BOOT partition!


* add & remove keymaps in

                tree/startup/init/keymap.tgz

keymap.tgz is compress with tar & gzip.


* Tune in "mu.cnf" the value of BOOT_FREE and other parameters.
  (Kbytes reserved for user in BOOT partition, > 30)

* Remove some binaries in tree/usr/bin :(

* Add your libc.so.5 binaries (take them from a RH4.2, for ex.)

* Add (if You want) other O.S. boot entry in sub-function make_lilo
  or kernel boot parameters (located in "mu" ) 
	Note: tree/startup/boot/map can to grow conspicuously!

* in mu.cnf, KERNEL_BOOT_PARAMETERS allow setting other
  boot-prompt kernel switch. Ex:  mem=, etc.
  See BootPrompt-HOWTO.

*  In /var/loadin/loadlin.cfg you can customize kernel parameters
   for UMSDOS/EXT2 installation. 

* Send me your tips & script (NO other binaries, please!!!)


* Build the floppy with
	
	# mu -r, mu -x (for X11 subsection) , ...

* See errors messages. Tune mu.cnf, ... and so on.

* Reboot
