Yes. One trick that has worked for more thasn one person is to cheat:
(1) install mulinux on a computer with more memory and clone it to a
umsdos filesystem (i.e. inside a dos partition).
(2) using your favorite archiving program (tar, pkzip) copy the directory
c:\linux or whatever to the laptop, and use linux.bat to boot from dos.
Easy. See also messages June 28th from Alfi Costa:
"Re: Details about 486 doesn't accept bootdisk / workaround",
and July 5th from Mark Roberts (that's me):
"Cheating mulinux onto 486 with low mem".
Good luck! Mark Roberts
