I'm not sure if I've updated the documentation yet (this and getting samba
working are about the only thing holding up the final 0.80 release)

create a /trinux folder on the root of the hard drive (preferably your
first drive/partition, although it should matter) -- you should see
trinux going through all filesystems it finds (and can mount) looking for
a trinux directory and a specific package 

from linuxrc:

for i in `cat /etc/tux/config/fstab`
do
        cd /
        part=`echo $i | cut -d: -f1`
        fstype=`echo $i | cut -d: -f2`

        echo "Checking $part ($fstype) for Trinux packages"

        if mount -o ro -t $fstype /dev/$part $part
        then
                        cd $part

                        if [ -f trinux/baselib.tgz ]
                        then
                                echo "Packages found on $part: loading..."

No, use .80
