I believe USR would install if I could just increase the size of the swapfile to 16 or 20 meg so that it could at least allocate enough swap space to handle decompression... and it might be a nice feature during installation to be able to pick the size of your swapfile. HD space I have plenty, and would gladly lose 20meg of space to swapfile to get muLinux working.

You have to edit the file /etc/rc.prep-umsdos, sorry. There is a line
related to swap. I noticed in the past no advantages in increasing swap
size in 4m machine. I used the formula swap=ram*2.
