It sounds like a paradox, but a floppy Linux heat more RAM, compared to
standard Linux distro: 1) because (you guess it) install itself in RAM
2) because it uses intensively scripts, who take more memory, compared
to binaries.
The muLinux work-around is to check the RAM at the boot and start the cloning
without delay (after swap setup). Do you never reached the green menu
with "Welcome dos user, your machine is an expensive machine ,,," ?
If no, kernel can't boot on your machine.
