To go off the straight and narrow, was started many releases ago, with
the introdution of the first addon: X11, not with the proposed (and
realized) split EXT->SRV/WKS. After that, I hadn't capable to slow-down
the trasmigration.
"Normal" a complete UNIX system in three floppy disk? Mmmm ...

Once the first addon has been introduced, the genetic transformation
is in act since long time .
To late to have second thoughts. The addition of a further
disk is only a drop in the ocean.
BTW, what is the muLinux that you have in mind? The first floppy,
isn't true? Well, I'm with you: the first floppy in not changed!
Why to scandalize if I add in muLinux mutt, smail, pgp, patch/diff,
md5sum, rsh when I just added a monster like Wine in a separated addon??
I'm sure, you are worried because the names of the new addon (WKS and
SRV) recall in your mind Microsof NT 4.0. If it is, do not worry!
These names are only matter of convention. How to call them?
EXT1 and EXT2?
These names helps me to find with euristic where is a binary:
I know smbd (a daemon) is in SRV, and mutt (a client) is in WKS.
Yes, I introduced the add-on idea under the users boost, but
without any sort of add-on muLinux should be now a simple maniacal
floppy disk.
I learned very much with script in the first floppy, but we have
now "0 kb" free on this diskette. Perseverare diabolicum!
