I have the boot and srv floppies in ram cloned onto
a 170 mo hard disk (this is a 486 DX 16 mo )
booting with a floopy ( I can't find the way for
puting lilo in the mbr)
and I want to install the addons on the hard disk
Well, I have to copy the addons , in /root/mu
for example and run the setup -f GCC from=/root/mu/GCC.tgz (for gcc on the
hd)
But I may be in a wrong way when doing this ?
