+ Installing from a DOS/Win9x box
+ |
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Requirements
+-----------------
+You will need:
+
+1) Some 1.44Mb diskettes, formatted OR unformatted, but without bad blocks.
+(1 for the installation disk, 1 for the boot disk and 1 for each addon you
+ wish to configure)
+
+2) DOS, Win3.11, Win95, Win98, WinNT, Win* already installed.
+
+
+
+UNPACKING THE archives
+-----------------------------
+
+1) Create a new directory (eg. c:\mulinux) and move DOSTOOLS.zip,
+mulinux-13r2.tgz and the addons into it.
+2) Unzip DOSTOOLS.zip using pkunzip or equivalent (Winzip).
+
+eg:
+ c:\mulinux> pkunzip DOSTOOLS.zip
+
+3) Run unpack.bat
+
+ c:\mulinux> unpack
+
+
+ This will unpack the main archive mulinux-13r2.tgz
+
+METHOD 1: using the Installer Disk (Suggested for WinNT)
+--------------------------------------------------------
+
+a) Run makefi.bat (formerly makefd.bat) in a DOS window:
+
+ c:\mulinux> makefi
+
+ This will create the "Installation Disk". It is formatted as
+ usual, i.e. 1440k.
+
+b) Put this disk in the drive and reboot
+
+METHOD 2: PC without floppy drive
+----------------------------------
+
+a) Restart in "full DOS mode" and run boot.bat:
+
+ c:\mulinux> boot
+
+ Using this method, no InstallerDisk is needed.
+
+METHOD 3: lowmem machine, 386 with RAM < 4M (new!)
+--------------------------------------------------
+
+Starting from muLinux 11r3, you can install with 4M also using
+methods 1 or 2. But if they don't work, try with this.
+
+
+a) Run the maker.bat (make root) script:
+
+ c:\mulinux> maker
+
+ This will create the ROOT (1722k) disk, ext2fs mountable.
+ It works only if your floppy drive supports 1722k super-formatting.
+
+b) Run the lowmem.bat script:
+
+ c:\mulinux> lowmem
+
+This will start Linux and will not use ramdisks at all. This is the
+only script that does not use additional RAM for the filesystem itself.
+After booting, you will be asked to enter the ROOT floppy:
+please, enter the floppy you made in a).
+
+NOTE 1: SCSI disks
+-------------------
+
+The installation Disk will also work with SCSI peripherals supported by AIC7xxx series cards, i.e. you can put DOSTOOLS.zip, mulinux.tgz and addons in SCSI partitions or a ZIP floppy with SCSI interface, and run 'makefd'.
+
+NOTE 2: SCSI disks
+-------------------
+
+If you wish only to make the standard single floppy Linux, i.e. the
+boot+root+usr traditional diskette, from DOS, please use
+the "makebru" (make boot,root,usr) script:
+
+ c:\> makebru
+
+It works only if your floppy drive supports 1722k super-formatting.

+
+
+Warning
+----------
+
+The installation disk boots an instance of Linux which is used to create
+the various muLinux floppies.
+
+The system should automatically detect the location of the mulinux image files, (however you may be asked to enter the path yourself (eg. /mulinux/))
+and you will then be prompted to insert 3.5" high-density floppy disks
+to create the muLinux boot disk and each of the add-on disks in turn.
+
+If you wish to create a permanent Hard-Drive installation,
+boot muLinux and issue the command "clone" at the prompt.
