Dear Michelle and friends:
I loaded BOOT+USR from my floppy and logged in as "root" with no problem.
I didn't add any other addons.) On another computer, I then copied from
the mulinux.tgz distribution the file bin/lilo which is 199KB to another DOS
formatted floppy disk. Again, no problem.
Then onto my little Notebook: mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt (no
problem here)
Then: cp /mnt/lilo /usr/bin (but now I get "no space left on
device.")
So, I cannot "clone" without lilo and I cannot get lilo into RAM. If mulinux
is intended for small machines like my own, how come its so difficult to get
it to work properly?
HELP!!
ANDREW

I have tried to do so with only BOOT+USR but the installation aborts because it cannot find LILO. Of course, LILO is on the WKS floppy which cannnot be loaded because of the 22% constraint. True. But you has a copy of the lilo command in the directory bin/, located in the main mulinux.tgz archive. Please, take a look to this archive. Copy the command in /usr/bin (in RAM), then retry the cloning. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mulinux-unsubscribe@sunsite.dk For additional commands, e-mail: mulinux-help@sunsite.dk
