Hello Pat and the list,
I am eager to play with mulinux because it seems very well done (I am
TRINUX user from the start and I am looking for alternative) : I want to
prepare dedicated floppies for my maintenance purpose but other netcard
modules are needed, so it is obvious that I must modify the distribution.
About my unpack/rebuild problem

Thank for your advice, but I do not understand what is wrong :
1- I start within an empty directory on an "almost everything" SuSE 6.4
distribution
2- I untar the 9r5 distribution ('tar -xzvf ../mulinux-9r5.tgz')
3- I simply use the unpack and its reverse (./mu -u; ./mu -r) without
moving anything (immediately after the tar -x)
(PS: I have tried the mu script line/line to understand what it is doing)
Perhaps the test mke2fs -O failure is the reason (my system must support
it :
man mke2fs ....
      -O feature[,...]
              Create the filesystem with the listed set  of  fea
              tures (filesystem options).  The following features
              are  supported:  sparse_super,  which   cause   the
              filesystem to use sparse superblocks, and filetype,
              which will cause the filesystem to store file  type
              information in directory entries.   Currently, both
              features are turned on by default unless mke2fs  is
              run on a system with a pre-2.2 Linux kernel.  Warn
              ing: Pre-2.2 Linux kernels do not properly  support
              the  filesystems  that use either of these two fea
              tures.   Filesystems that may need  to  mounted  on
              pre-2.2  kernels  should  be  created  with -O none
              which will disable both of these features, even  if
              mke2fs  is  run on a system which can support these
              features.
