    Yes, is it.

    No. If you cloned mu, then this will fix your problem.

                    # setup -f WKS from=/mnt/mulinux/WKS.tgz
                    # setup -s lock

    No floppy disk is needed, if you have the addon on a disk partion.

    If, instead, you are running in RAM (i.e.: you are using the floppy-based
    mulinux system), you must provide the floppy addon WKS in the drive.
    After that:

                    # setup -f WKS
                    # setup -s lock

    This will save a "locked" profile on the base floppy disk. Next time
    you will use this base floppy, the system will ask you for the WKS floppy.

    All that is widely known in the mulinux users.

Finally I wasn't able to explore directories neither in maintenance mode, I tried to get /usr/wks/doc but it was unreacheable... I have a lot to learn I guess... in particular how to add an addon since I understood only a half of the explanation.

    I think *really* You are using this system in a way that I never
    expected. So, diagnosis is difficult.
