0. When you have no ZIP drive and no internet connection you
   need to copy all necessary mulinux files with floppies from 
   i.e. your workstation to your notebook in 1.44 packages.

   At the workstation: I copied all mulinux files into a fresh 
   directory and used the DOS version of arj in a DOS box with 
   the command:

   arj a mulin -v1440   (and 'yes' to the creation of 
                        all new archives)

   This creates the necessary 1.44 KB packages that can be copied
   into fresh directory of the notebook.
   
   Uncompression is by:

   arj x mulin.arj -v1440  (and 'yes' to the creation of 
                            all new archives)

1. In MS-DOS:
   copy mulinux*.tgz and dostools.zip to c:\mulinux

2. unzip dostools.zip

3. edit install.bat and delete the text 'vga=extended'.
   save and quit install.bat
   
   Note: if you do not delete the text 'vga=extended' you will
   have 50 lines on your screen instead of 24 and linux will
   run into a segmentation fault in VNC (although not installed)
   at the 1st or 2nd boot of linux. (5 times tested )

4. run install.bat

5. When asked 'your choice (1/2/3) [1]?' write '2'
   Note: all partitions are recognized correctly, also
   primary and extended partitions !

6. CR (return/ enter) on the defaults [/dev/hda1] and [mulinux].

7. Reboot (hit 'ENTER) when asked for

8. After rebooting goto C:\LINUX

9. Edit loadlin.cfg and add 'floppy=thinkpad' as a _new line_
   right after the line 'ramdisk_size=4600'.

   So, loadlin.cfg looks this way:
   
startup\boot\mulinuz
root=/dev/hda1
rw
# kernel parameters
no387
vga=normal
ramdisk_size=4600
floppy=thinkpad
# ZIP
aha152x=0x140,10,7,1
max_scsi_luns=1
#ether=10,0x280,0xc8000,0xcbfff,eth0
#sound=0x0TTPPPID

10. Save and exit.

11. Run linux.bat, select keyboard when asked. I set all other
    parameters to n (=default) and mulinux is humming :) 

12. Enjoy !   :)
