Tight? It is my best in the current year! To be more expressive, I have
to put a note for every word in the statement:
If you can't live with more profiles(1) on the startup(2) floppy(3),
you have to rebuild(4) the base system(5).
First, edit the file mu.cnf(7) and change the
value of BOOT_FREE (actual default is 35kB)): this is the number of KB(8)
left free on the BOOT(9) segment(10) in the startup(11) floppy-disk.
Foot-notes:
1) profile=the set of pairs variable=value that define all you typed
during the setup process
2) startup= is the first floppy you nicely inserted in the floppy
driver, the first floppy in the muLinux distribution
3) floppy = see floppy-disk (if you can)
4) rebuild = see "mu -r" (if you can)
5) base system = this is the muLinux base OS system, on a 1722k floppy-disk
7) mu.cnf = this is the file named mu.cnf (in the main archive)
8) KB=Kb=kBytes 1024 bytes
9) BOOT= the first (bootable) segment in the startup floppy-disk (other
are ROOT and USR)
10) segment = contiguus part in the floppy-disk (not standard def.)
11) see (2)
