RE: [Sheflug] muLinux

["Alistair Williamson" <xxxxx [at] xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Jose,

I rather got the impression that it had to be installed in a DOS partition -
what you said makes obvious sense - I'll go back and have another look at
some of the install options.

It would be better in an ex2 partition - 'cos then it could reboot in the
event of a power interruption??

Have a very happy New Year,

Cheers,

Alistair
