I remember those good old days.
In fact I've still got an muLinux v2.3 here on floppy.
A veritable antique in the software world 8^P
Mulinux has become increasing more user friendly since those early pre clone "manic boot floppy days".
And I'm quite sure you'll grown a few grey hairs from the workload since then too........
It seems muLinux has grown to a fairly respectable though still rustic O/S in it's own right.
BTW:
I wasn't aware that a link was added to the mulinux homepage, I was kinda' wondering why folks running "Irix" and "HPUX" were visiting the old clunker*grin*
