    Subject: Changes and bug fixes to MuLinux-5r7(unofficial)
    Author: Dave Houghton (davehoughton@g0mxw.free-online.co.uk)

    The following are suggested changes to the standard release of mulinux-5r7.tgz.
    All changes have been made and rebuilt into mulinux-5r7B.tgz available from this site.
    					*-----*
    					 setup
    					*-----*

    /setup/fun/port.fun
    /setup/cnf/port.cnf       Removed parallel port setup to save space as this was duplicated
                              in the printer setup.

    /setup/fun/ppp            Forced serial port setup in "setup ppp" if "setup ports" not
                              already done.  This is required as ppp needs serial module to be
                              loaded.

    					*-----*
    					  mu
    					*-----*

    mu -u 		          Added GCC unpack as without this there was nothing for
                              "mu -gcc" to rebuild.

                              Made filenames for BOOT ROOT.tgz USR.bz2 GCC.tgz and X11.tgz all
                              uppercase as mu -u was failing to find the mixed upper/lowercase
                              filenames of the original distribution.

                              Added fsck to distribution as mu needs this for file system
                              checking when rebuilding.  This has been added solely to get mu
                              working properly and has not been added to /bin.

                              Added Gnu Tar to the distribution as /bin/tar does not support
                              the tar -C -xvf option which is required by mu.  Once again the
                              original smaller tar remains in /bin.

                              chmod 777 applied to the rebuilt versions of BOOT ROOT USR GCC
                              and X11 as the original version left no execute permissions
                              other than root.

    mu.cnf                    For some reason I have yet to figure out, the rebuilt ROOT has
                              grown a few blocks in size.  Reduced BOOT_FREE = 7 to
                              compensate giving 2k uncompressed space on disk.
