Michele/KHZ,
I just want to know if I can do this without potential
harm.
0) Rename existing Linux to Linux6.
1) I copy the mulinux-7r5.tgz, EXT.tgz, X11.tgz etc. to my
HD (in DOS).
2) Create *only* the 7r5 BOOT+ROOT+USR floppy. (Can this be
done from inside mulinux or do I need to use DOSTOOLS? )
3) Boot mulinux with this newly created floppy and clone
it.
4) Mount the DOS section containing the addon *.tgz files.
5) bzip2 | tar -xf- each of the *.tgz files, without
creating the floppies.
6) Copy modified *.cnf files from Linux6.
Just a curiosity: Do I need to create floppies other than
BOOT+ROOT+USR if I am going to clone the new 7r5 vresion
anyway?
Thanks,
venki

The best solution should be: Karl-Heinze Zimmer (a german guy) to development planning and I (an italian guy) to magazine promotion, but it happen the exact contrary :-) Isn't true, KHZ? (KHZ send me periodically german magazines with articles about muLinux, in german, a language I speak fluently) Michele -- I'd like to conclude with a positive statement, but I can't remember any.
