Basically, we have only two kind of swap-space: swap-files and
swap-partitions.
In the case of "swap-partition", we swap in a dedicated partition,
located in a HD of yours, an *properly* formatted as "Linux-swap" device.
Now, swap-file: a file can be "local" to your filesystem, for example
in /tmp/my_swap_file, or "reside" to some other, mountable, disk
partition, for example: your DOS partition.
If you cloned in UMSDOS, "local" is the best choice.

setup/port; setup/isp; finally "ppp-on"

The DNS of your provider, in the form x.y.z.t
NETWORK is the network definition of your LAN, for example 192.168.1.0.
You do not need to use diald to go in Internet.

If you enabled the gpm mouse server, you can "cut" the screen with
the left-mouse; then, you can open a text file with your preferred
editors, then, after going in insert-mode, you can "paste" with
3th (or 2th) mouse button. Now, you has the screen in a file.
You can print it with "lpr my_file".
As alternative, you can redirect the standard-output to your printer
with a command like <em/my_command| lpr </em>

My mouse is PS/2 and X works. Surely, your mouse isn't working.
Please, start the gpm server: this is the best test for your mouse.

MuLinux is so little: what directory you plan to remove? If you are
lucky, you will gain 10-20k.
