Have you tried creating a swap file? :
muLinux runs entirely in RAM, so it requires more RAM than usual. You
need swap, but setting up a swap using the muLinux script is not
possible in 4M, because the scripts fork. You have to reach a prompt and
proceed manually:
# .... mount a DOS disk ...
# dd if=/dev/zero bs=1k count=4000 of=linux.swp
# mkswap linux.swp
# sync
# swapon linux.swp
Note: If you want to clone to the HD I found it better to have the swap
on a partition of it's own.... like a 16-20 meg partition should really
help. This may not describe your actual situation so much, but it shows
how to make a swap file. I think I had to do a "swapoff" before turning
on the new swap in the last line "swapon linux.swp"
