As it seems Michele is unreachable through various email address
I found (even the one from the mulinux home page !), as I hope he's
on mulinux mailing list, so I finally post here...

Hello,
First, thank you for giving us mulinux: it's great !
I'm hacking it to make our own floppy rescue disk as
I find it much more clearer than Tom's rtbt to understand.
What I want to make is a one floppy a customer can boot, then
forget, that'll enable me to connect via modem remotly and find
all tools I need for recovery from tape on SCSI servers...
But I came upon a glitch here, at home. On my box, I run e2fsprogs
version 1.15, which sets ext2 fs to revision 1 by default, not
understood by kernels 2.0.x. So: breakage.
Here is a very simple patch (which should work with older versions
of e2fsprogs) against 6r4 which adds the '-r0' flag to mkfs.ext2 to
force revision level 0. Only the 'mu' script is affected.
Ciao,
François Désarménien
PS: you should change your email address in the various docs, as
it seems that 'andreoli@pisoft.it' is no longer valid...my first
mail has been rejected.
PPS: neither is 'mu.andreoli@tin.it'
