Same answer as to so many questions: mulinux uses libc5, whereas all big
distros updated to glibc last year. Maybe somebody can tell me why they
did. Anyway, this means you need to compile from a libc5-based system,
e.g. Suse 5.3. Suse was among the first to update, and it took them a
version or two to recover.

I use mulinux-9r4, and it runs on 4mb, even though my machine appears to
hide some memory from mu. I had difficulty installing it due to short
memory, but once it's installed, no problem.
> how can i update to the latest version?
Do you mean "update" as opposed to "wipe out the old and install the new"?
Good question. I think possibilities are: (1) wait for Michele to return
from his holiday, (2) know what you're doing, make a backup, reinstall,
tidy up. (3) Sorry, no (3).
Have a good time. Remember not to sit with your computer too much. This
holds for everybody on the list, and everybody not on the list. Go visit
your respective boy- and girlfriends for a change!
Happy Tuesday, Mark
