Hi Wade.
Cloning is very simple.
The eaysiest way is like this (hope there are no mistakes in)
>log in as root
>at the console:
clone
>Clone will no check your drives, just wait, even if there are errors, for
the
>Menu.
>Now you have to decide where to clone: on a real Linux partition (ext2),
>as a loop file (on an Dos Partition), or in UMSDOS. I tried the loop
cloning.
>For example: loop device
>Clone will no give you your partition table and then asks, where to install
the
>loop file (e.g. First Partition on Primary Master: /dev/hda1)
> Afterwards, it asks for the size of the file. Warning: if all addons are
>installed, the standart value is to small. I used 20 Megs.
>then Clone asks for the partition where to install the file linux.bat for
booting.
>I prefer the same partition as for the loop device.
>Then the muLinux will install itself there.
>If you want to boot now the HDD Version, boot in real DOS mode
>and execute the file linux.bat in X:\linux
Hope, this is correct,
