UMSDOS tips
---------------

Edit the file /loadlin.cfg (in your root directory)
and change the vga entry to:

		vga=ask 

Enjoy.
  
Transport an UMSDOS installation
--------------------------------

1) pkzip c:\linux with multivolume floppy feature.
2) pkunzip to destination machine.


Transport muLinux via TCP: MU1 host -> MU2 host
-------------------------------------------

Build an archive mu.ZIP as in "Trasport an UMSDOS installation"
in the DOS partition of MU1 host, adding tree info in the zip.


	On host MU2 ( dest)
	-------------------

	# mount DOS partition and cd to it
	# nc -l -p 5555 > mu.ZIP	---> wait for incoming conn. 


	On host MU1 (source)
	-------------------

	# mount DOS partition and cd to it
	#  cat mu.ZIP | nc MU2 5555	---> send zip archive. 


At the end, in MU2 host, boot the DOS and pkunzip mu.ZIP in c:\linux


Duplicate a muLinux floppy
-------------------------

Large /tmp needed.


	# umount /startup
	# dd if=/dev/fd0H1722 of=/tmp/floppy
	# --- insert a blank floppy ---
	# dd if=/tmp/floppy of=/dev/fd0H1722 


Upgrade the X11 addon
----------------------


From a working UMSDOS mulinux:

	- mount the DOS partition containing X11.tgz
	- rm -r /usr/X11R6
	- cat X11.tgz | bzip2 -ds | (cd / ; tar -xvf - )

Load USR portion from the muLinux floppy
-----------------------------------------

Check USR OFFSET value in /startup/boot/info.

	# dd if=/dev/fd0H1722 bs=1k skip=OFFSET | bzip2 -ds > /dev/ram8
	# mount /dev/ram8 /mnt
	# [ in /mnt you find the USR stuff ]



muLinux XWindows with Other Video Cards
---------------------------------------

muLinux comes with the XF86_VGA16 Xwindows server. However, some
computers use different type of video cards that do not 
work with the XF86_VGA16 driver. 

To check what kind of video card you have and to find the approriate X
driver,
first run the "superprobe" program. This utility will probe your video 
card and return some very useful info that you need in order to choose 
your driver.

1.) Once "superprobe" tells you which card you have, choose the driver
and
    install it into the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 directory.
2.) remove the X@ symbolic link to the driver with
    rm X
3.) create new link to the new driver by typing:
    ln -s XF86_xxxx X
4.) modify the XF86Config file "server" section to reflect your
    new driver.

( I put "superprobe" on the www.uhu.com server )


Accessing to other Linux installation with muLinux
---------------------------------------------------

You can manage other Linux session from your muLinux.
Requirement: an HD partition with a full LINUX installed,
for ex. /dev/hdb1.

Do that:

		# mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt
		# chroot /mnt bash


Suck a web page with "netcat"
-----------------------------

	# echo "GET /index.html" | nc www.linux.it 80


rustic DNS lookup with netcat
-----------------------------

Show the IP address of "hostname":

	# nc -z -vv hostname 7
