You can with the addons, seeing as they're simply bzip2 compressed archives written directly to diskettes. The base floppy is custom built, however, so it's a
bit more difficult.

OS/2 can be installed on either a fat16 or hpfs partition. With fat16, you can
simply mount it as type "msdos" with full read/write access. I'm not sure if hpfs support is compiled by default into the muLinux kernel, but it IS possible -
read-only, but nonetheless usable.

If you have access to one, then yes, that may be an option. The easiest way it
to run the "mu" script in interactive mode from the prompt by typing ./mu -i in
the muLinux base directory (the one you untared mulinux-XrX.tgz to).

The above info should help.

No problem. I think I'll start on the OS/2 installer today (I had a rather busy weekend, and haven't had the time for much of anything).
