That is the way it currently works.
But instead of an mounted dir, I want to directly use an web-URL.
no one :-) proposes:
--SNIP--
#!/bin/sh
# Takes one argument, URL of addon to load
wget $1 /tmp/addon.tgz
mu -i /tmp/addon.tgz
rm /tmp/addon.tgz
--SNIP--
But I guess the extracting itself (mu -i or setup or whatever) itself uses
the /tmp ramdisk and there might not be enough space to do so.
Another question is: Do we have wget on the root-floppy?
