If you have a look at my muLinux mirror site at http://www.mulinux.free-online.co.uk/mulinux/development
you will find mulinux-5r7B.tgz which has the above forced "setup -f port" writen into "setup ppp"
(one line NO extra /setup/fun() needed). Some other minor fixes included to setup as well .
What happened to mu? it's got so many bugs in I almost had to get the exterminator's in !!
Seriously though, lot's of changes later and it all works o.k. I can now unpack, re-build, and distribute
with no problems.
All the changes are documented at the above URL.
I haven't had this much fun since the days of 8 bit Z80 based cpm hacking/programming!
As I'm like 5r7- temporarily homeless with no access to big Linux's and super computers, muLinux
is the answer to my prayers, running on my old battered 386 notebook!
Hope you find the fixes usefull.
Bye for now
Dave
