[Gllug] 2.4.x linux on floppies? (fwd)

[Jim Bailey]

Hi Jake,

I really don't know what I am talking about here but ;-) I do recall 
reading somewhere about linux on a floppy or LOAF you may also want to try 
Rock Linux they were talking at the last gllug and their roll your own 
distro may be what you are looking for.  If you go for the Rock option 
please let me know how you find it and do as it is something I am 
interested in but don't unfortunately have the time to play. :-(

Peace Jim

Note: 'ALL' means you MUST have the option and 'optional' is optional.
