what else should I do?? There is only one HD and I can't reformat it without
running linux...

It's clear, the laptop isn't the optimal system. Maybe, RAM and HD are not the
fastest. But shouldn't it be possible to install the RAM-mulinux via "clone" at
the harddisk??? Thats the only thing I want! When I've got a running
mulinux-laptop, then I can start experiments like buliding new kernels etc.
the riddle is going on......
