Ok, ok!
I believe *you* are right: let's not make things to much complicated.
If someone will have difficulties with the DOS floppy creation (as i
did) there is always one simple way to help him/her: one letter to You
should be enough for someone *really* interested in muLinux (who has
no friend with Linux installed).
I think you then could help such a poor person and tell what to do to
get connected to the nearest Linux User Group.
So the installation process will not become to complex and everybody
is happy. ;-)
(It seems to me that my brain sometimes makes things more complicated
than needed.)

That sound really fine! I hope it really will be possible to integrate
SCSI support.
Ciao,
