The "source" is in the distribution files. You need of an ext2 filesystem
scratch partition. Create it with mkfs.ext2.
# fdisk .... (repartitioning)
# mkfs.ext2 /dev/hdxy
Presse "help" of F1 and read what is relevant for disk management.
Then, copy on this partition the directory c:\mulinux (an example),
mounting it from your original DOS distribution.
Now, go in the new directory on the ext2 fs, and:
# mu -u (unpack the system)
# modify the source tree in tree/
# mu -r ( rebuild the system)
Please, check "mu -h".
Sorry, some user reports errors using "mu -r" on a UMSDOS partitions
(incorrect sizing, etc ...)
Anyway, you cannot use a FAT partitions for the purpose, because
symlinks and special devices are only fracturately supported.
