Next Previous Contents 4. This section covers creating a swap partition and a temporary root partition on the laptop's hard disk.
Nothing here is Slackware-specific.
If you are going to use only muLinux to for this procedure then you need to prepare a disk with mkfs.ext2 and supporting libraries on it. From the muLinux setup files uncompress USR.bz2 and mount it as a loop file-system. From there copy mkfs.ext2, libext2fs.so.2, libcomerr.so.2 and libuuid.so.1 onto a floppy. Prepare the installation root files. Select the root disk you want - I used the color one with no problems but the text one would be slightly faster in these low memory conditions.
