Very easy: create the directory /startup/init in your root (/)
filesystem in RAM. If Setup find this directory, it assume that
STARTUP is embedded in the filesystem, not in a separated disk.
You have to edit the source distribution, opening the file linuxrc
and putting the command "mkdir -p /startup/init" close to the top.
In this directory muLinux store/retreive its profile. But if you
put this dir in RAM, stored profiles aren't kept to next boot.
