All changes have been made and rebuilt into mulinux-5r7B.tgz available from this site. *-----* setup *-----* /setup/fun/port.fun /setup/cnf/port.cnf Removed parallel port setup to save space as this was duplicated in the printer setup. /setup/fun/ppp Forced serial port setup in "setup ppp" if "setup ports" not already done. This is required as ppp needs serial module to be loaded. *-----* mu *-----* mu -u Added GCC unpack as without this there was nothing for "mu -gcc" to rebuild. Made filenames for BOOT ROOT.tgz USR.bz2 GCC.tgz and X11.tgz all uppercase as mu -u was failing to find the mixed upper/lowercase filenames of the original distribution. Added fsck to distribution as mu needs this for file system checking when rebuilding. This has been added solely to get mu working properly and has not been added to /bin. Added Gnu Tar to the distribution as /bin/tar does not support the tar -C -xvf option which is required by mu. Once again the original smaller tar remains in /bin. chmod 777 applied to the rebuilt versions of BOOT ROOT USR GCC and X11 as the original version left no execute permissions other than root. mu.cnf For some reason I have yet to figure out, the rebuilt ROOT has grown a few blocks in size. Reduced BOOT_FREE = 7 to compensate giving 2k uncompressed space on disk.
