I provide pack/unpack scripts for that. 1) unpack. 2) put you module
in the directory 3) repack. Check in LIST file is updated, now.
This apply to tree/ directory or UMSDOS. Then, rebuild the disk,
checking sizes!

The problems is meaning: the system stop, but loading custom profile
is up to user.
I can add a further message (if it press ENTER), telling the user
about the new possibility to load a own profile. This is a good
solution, in your opinion?

Totally true. It's better to answer "n" to this setup.

Ok. I added that:
=====================================
I suggest to answer "n" and to do tests using "systest" at the
prompt, because if system hang, you can lose all the work
you did before.

My .c programs are all in sources/ directory, in the mulinux.tgz archive.
Thank you for your suggestions and fixes! Thank to this kind of feedback,
muLinux become a better system.
