                          Installing Linux via the Milieu package

   0  Get the Milieu files.
   1  Make a dos bootable floppy and put the bootdisk subdir files on it.
   2  On  ten  other  dos  floppies,  put  the  other  files,  or  as  many  as  you  want.   See  the
      Files.list for contents of the various archives.
   3  You will need at least a 50meg partition on the fixed disk.  If necessary, backup your
      files now.
   4  Copy rootdisk.gz to your harddisk and do gzip -d rootdisk.gz, then run rawrite; tell
      rawrite which floppy to write to and write rootdisk to the floppy that rootdisk.gz is
      on. Next, copy config.lnx to config.sys and reboot.
   5  Bootlin  will  boot  the  vmlinux  kernel  and  prompt  you  for  a  location  for  the  root
      filesystem.  Insert the rootdisk floppy and respond appropriately.  Once the system
      loads, login as root. You are now running Linux from the floppy.
   6  Run fdisk, leave /dev/hda1 for dos, make /dev/hda2 for linux, /dev/hda3 for swap
      (say 10megs), and the rest as you please. On my maxtor 213, I have:
      /book > fdisk
      Using /dev/hda as default device!
   Command (m for help):   p
   Disk /dev/hda:   16 heads, 38 sectors, 683 cylinders
   Units = cylinders of 608 * 512 bytes
   Device Boot Begin Start End Blocks Id System
   /dev/hda1 * 1 1 213 64733 6 DOS 16-bit >=32M
   /dev/hda2 214 214 426 64752 81 Linux/MINIX
   /dev/hda3 427 427 470 13376 82 Linux swap
   /dev/hda4 471 471 683 64752 81 Linux/MINIX
7  Now you can install to your fixed disk.  Reboot and mount the rootdisk floppy.  Use
   mke2fs to put a linix filesystem on /dev/hda2 (or wherever).  Also use mkswap to
   make swap and move rootdisk stuff to your new partition. For example:
   mke2fs -c /dev/hda2 64752
   mkswap -c /dev/hda3 13376
   swapon /dev/hda3
   mount /dev/hda2 /mnt
   cd /
   for i in bin dev etc lib root tmp
   do
   tar rvf /mnt/t.t $i
   done
   cd /mnt; tar xvf t.t;rm t.t
8  Reboot with the dos floppy disk and format the dos partition (if you didn't make the
   partition active with linux's fdisk, use the dos fdisk) with format c:/s.  Then restore
   files to your dos partition (including vmlinux and bootlin.com). Again use bootlin to
   boot the linux kernel but now use /dev/hda2 for your root filesystem.  use mread to
   copy the varios files to / and cat them together; untar the various other tz's (note:
   they are compressed with gzip, to which uncompress, etc. are linked), for example:
   cd /
   mread a:rootaa .
   mread a:rootab .
   cat rootaa rootab >root.tz
   tar zxvf root.tz
   sync
   and you're all set. 1) install lilo, or 2) recompile the kernel or use rdev, Norton Util-
   ities, etc to change the root device in vmlinux (for example:  rdev vmlinux /dev/hda2)
   and then continue to use bootlin.  You may want to put the floppy installation files
   on your dos partition. To remake the rootdisk.gz, do
   dd if=/dev/fd0 of=rootdisk bs=1024 % or /dev/fd1, as appropriate
   compress -9 rootdisk; cp rootdisk.gz /dos/linux/backup %for example
