Linux on a Floppy
Anyone know a good source for versions of Linux that will fit on a single floppy disk?

Hi,
Here is a site that lists some floppy versions toward the bottom of the page. The only one which I have tried is the Coyote. http://www.linuxbasis.com/distributi...ibutions1.html |

I use tomsrtbt (http://www.toms.net/rb/) and I found that it is the "most linux on a floppy" (as they say). It has everything you need to carry linux around (I boot the pc I use at school with it and play around while the teacher "lectures" ;-) )

I don't know, does QNX fit on a single floppy disk? Also, homey, that link you gave proved to be very useful, thanks.

Which one you can use will probably depend on what you need.
Freesco has a nice little web interface and a minimal webserver to host it with, but due to the space that takes up it can't do PPP. Coyote on the other hand handles PPPoA and PPPoE nicely, but the space on the floppy that those clients takes up eliminates the possibility for fitting a web admin utility on the floppy  .
