- clone the embrional MU (only the first floppy) on the compact flash
- Mount the compact-flash under /media.
- Create an addons/ directory on it.
- Put every addon in /media/addons
- edit the file /setup/rc/addons and change:
[ ... ]
mount /dev/xyz /media
setup usr -> setup usr from=/media/addons/USR.bz
setup -a addon ->
setup WKS from=/media/addons/WKS.tgz
setup SRV from=/media/addons/SRV.tgz
.... etc ...
[ ... ]
After that, you will have any addon in the compressed form.
