Hello Karl, it is nice to meet you as well.

I am assuming that requires I first create a working copy of muLinux for
the floppy- correct? The reason I ask such a basic question is due to my
intention of skipping past creating a floppy copy and persuing a direct
install onto the hard drive. Admittedly, I have not yet opened my copies
of the software, nor started to install it, and as such, am working on the
documentation level (or theoretical level) at this time. I hope you can
afford me some leeway, if any question I ask seems too basic.

I'm acquainted with Dr. DOS and do appreciate its value, however I am very
interested in the prospect of running muLinux not only on the FAT32
(perhaps even FAT16?) design, but also the ext2 file system. This would
seem to infer that muLinux could comingle with traditional Linux GNU apps
such as a fully capable version of gcc, or interoperate with other small
distro's of linux such as robtrb (sp?). Once I begin the installation
process, I will update you on my success, or downfalls, regarding X11. One
thing I think I will miss on muLinux is not having a bash shell- all well,
such is life.

Certainly you may ask, however, I do not have to tell ;)
But for the record, I am hailing from Virginia in the U.S.
