I'm sorry if my earlier posting seemed rude:(
On the contrary I find MuLinux as a bit of fantastic work.
To create a Linux distribution comprised a good percentage of shell
scripts replacing binaries is "completely unique" hence the tiny total
installed size......and extremely useful both as a working system and as
an educational tool:)
If this system replaced scripts with binaries much of the educational
value would disappear....as with MuLinux usually you can "chase a
program" through the various scripts and see EXACTLY what's going
on.....what can be modified.....and how these
"programs" are built and function.
You may want to try "statically compiling" grep or any other binaries
you might want to add to MuLinux on your mandrake box if you'd like to
add other packages.
They'll be rather large but should work on MuLinux.
There's a GCC-HowTo at the "linux documentation project" that'll explain
the details.
good luck
