muLinux .. a GIANT on 1 floppy disk ! (c)1998-2002 by M. Andreoli <m dot andreoli at tin dot it>, ITALY


Persuade your browser to a BINARY download, or your addons disk will not works!
An alternative: use a regular FTP client.
Please: don´t unpack manually the addons images, because they aren´t true tgz!

  Optional "pnp" 1722K floppies, in tar+bzip2 format.
  If you wish to gain the standard UNIX performance, the SRV and WKS add-ons are suggested.

Plug-and-Play addons

  • MC (Midnigh Commander)
  • PERL v5.003 and CGI modules
  • M-tools
  • zip/unzip

GCC add-on ADDON #5: GCC
GNU C compiler:
  • lex & yacc (lexical analyzers)
  • f2c (Fortran-to-C translator)
  • p2c (Pascal-to-C translator)
  • BASIC interpreter
  • NASM v0.98 80x86 assembler/disassembler
  • demo sources in /usr/gcc/src
  Using this addon, it is now possible to compile kernel modules for the serie 2.0.*. Tested using sample modules form 1) "Linux Kernel Module Prog. Guide", by Ori Pomerantz and 2) "Linux Device Drivers", by A. Rubini.
  NOTE! NOTE! For educational purpose only. This compiler is to learn the C-language. You cannot use this gcc to expand muLinux, getting tgz around the net. ONLY hello-world programs, math programs, lexycal analizers and kernel modules compile well.
TCL add-on ADDON #6: TCL
programs written in Tcl/Tk
  An add-on floppy for muLinux to add a healthy mix of application programs written in Tcl/Tk. Requires the muLinux X11 add-on, as most Tcl programs included are X11 based. Author: Tom Poindexter, tpoindex@nyx.net.
TEX add-on ADDON #7: TEX
TeX typesetting system
New! LaTex: TeX typesetting system for UNIX-like systems, with AMS-Tex (from American Mathematical Society) package. All that, in a single floppy disk!
  • the famous Lyx word processor
  • dvips
  • xdvi
  This add-on can be used as a tool for emergency professional typesetting, if you work as sturm-reporter in some war-zone, around the world, and wish urgently to rewrote the "Book 8th, Conic´s Section" of Apollonio di Perga (a missing book, I´d like to read).
PERL add-on ADDON #8: PERL
Practical Extraction and Report Language
  PERL: Practical Extraction and Report Language (v5.004), with a good selection of CPAN libraries: WWW, LPW, CGI, Net, MIME, MD5, etc. Miscellaneus: libc6 support for muLinux; SIRC irc Perl client, ...
  This add-on is a work in progress. The plan is to add a lot of networking Perl code on it (sendmail.pl, fetchmail.pl, etc) in the (far) future. Contributors are welcome.
EMU add-on ADDON #9: EMU
emulators
  • DOSEMU v0.66, the Linux DOS Emulator
  • WINE v981018, the Linux Windows Emulator
  • mtools v3.8, DOS commands in the Linux box
  Because most of these programs requires libc6 and libX11 to work, this add-on depends on the PERL and X11 add-ons. Wine, on the other hand, requires XWindow up and running; DOSEMU, doesn´t. Easy-to-use frontends are provided.
NS add-on ADDON #10a: NS1   ADDON #10b: NS2
Netscape browser
  • NS1 disk SVGA X Server and Netscape 3.0 (part I)
  • NS2 disk Netscape 3.0 (part II)
  Notes: NS1 and NS2 requires the X11 add-on. Netscape works only if the system is cloned in the hard-disk.
JVM add-on ADDON #11: JVM
Java Virtual Machine
  This is the Kaffe JVM for muLinux (a very old version: v0.8.3), but it works. You can compile and run simple java applications, applets, etc.
Your add-on ADDON #99: Special
Your own add-on?
  You want to enhance muLinux by creating your own add-on disk?
  It´s easy to do this, if you know how.
