I think, the roclone "sanitize" something setups. You will find
this part of code in /usr/clone/roclone

============================================
chroot $INITRD setup -a custom sanitize 2>/dev/null
===============================================

sanitize() is a function embedded in the *.fun. Its purpose is
to remove POP3 passwords, and other dangerous setup (such swap!)
As you well guest, this CD-ROM has to be transportable in every
machine, this is the original intention.

You can comment this line.

This is ok, I think.

ndisasm should be in the GCC, I think. "which ndisasm" worked?

You are right, about new release of E3. I always forget to put
the new release. On the other hand, new releases are now so rare
events :-( I currently have not time to work again on muLinux.
