    You can install it in 15 different partitions (give or take). It is 
quite unfortunate that the documentation is scarce, even though there's 
a FAQ around. Also consider musamba (a mulinux specifically designed as 
a samba printer server), which might or might not be online. It is a 
very old version of both mulinux and samba, but with a single floppy, 
you get a printer server up and running (very impressive).

    Things might have changed, but the ext2 procedure used to be a crude 
mkfs.ext2 of some kind, and a "cp" command that copied everything onto 
it. The only problem was that lilo wasn't around, and you had to get 
lilo from another source. This has now been solved (disk 2 had lilo in 
it at some point). Worth trawling the mailing list archives (last time I 
checked, they didn't work, but Michele is a nice person, and he can 
usually help) for answers to this.


    Now, where didi I put that Resolve tablet? Groan...
