Loadlin means I have to install DOS, and I rather don't want to that, the
harddrive filled up, I can't imagine that.

I made a new attempt to clone to harddisk, but now with the option to use
/dev/fd0. And it works! So, now I'm able to explore muLinux anyfurther.

But I still want to get rid of the use of the floppy. I still have the
feeling the clone-scripts are not working 100% yet. When 'cloning'and using
the /dev/fd0 option, I had to do this 3 times before being succesfull.

When only hitting return and thus using the defaults, I did get error
messages (something as 'look to your partitions'). Passing the same default
vallues manually to the machine by typing them, the cloning-process is
succesfull (I know there is a message which adresses the same problem).

Another reason why I think the script isn't foolproof, is that at the end of
the cloneprocess the message 'muLinux installed' appears when using the
/dev/fd0 option. This lilo-message doesn't appear when using the option to
boot from /dev/hda1.
