What kind ?

Yes I wonder what was wrong. Was your floppy well formatted ? Maybe the problem
was there. I reread the mu script, in fact mu doesn't really do
"fdformat /dev/fd0H1722 \n cat BOOT ROOT.gz USR.bz2 > /dev/fd0\n", but instead
(mudir is the directory mu is after gunzipping and taring):
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=mudir/tree/lib mudir/fdformat
Maybe the problem is here ? Suppose you haven't got libc5 installed in your
computer, nor tree expanded, it fails, isn't it ? Angel Miguel, could you please
privately send me what ./mu -i gave you ?
And Michele (or anyone), any thought ?
