An oracular answer; "nothing" is a synonym of "mu".
I researched this problem today and learned...
(drum roll)...
How to start 'ile' in a mu Debian xterm window.
1) Mount the DOS drive as umsdos.
# mount -t umsdos /dev/hda1 /mnt/c
1a) To run 'ile' under Debian Potato, make sure that the 'termcap-compat' library is installed.
# apt-get install termcap-compat
2) As root, run your favorite xterm, and in that xterm run 'ile', (and load its config
file 'ilerc'), and have 'ile' run 'chroot'...
# gnome-terminal -e /mnt/c/linux/usr/bin/ile -/mnt/c/linux/etc/ilerc chroot /mnt/c/linux/
3) An xterm window should pop up. Load the mu profile**...
# . /etc/profile
Now mu can find 'mc' and command history and path completion work under 'ash'.
...(Ecstatic, the muList crowd holds up a lit match.)
Except I don't understand how to combine steps 2 & 3 into one line.
Two separate lines work correctly. But this fails:
# gnome-terminal -e /mnt/c/linux/usr/bin/ile -/mnt/c/linux/etc/ilerc chroot /mnt/c/linux/ . /etc/profile
...what happens is that an xterm opens and instantly closes.
How to do it right, in only one line?
(**thanks to MA & JH.)
