Dear Members,
=20
How About Linux On A Single Floppy?
=20
There are also some floppy Linux distros for
recovery or simple purposes. See:
http://bengross.com/smallunix.html
http://www.toms.net/rb/
=20
=20
Note that most, if not all, of these floppy-based versions of Linux are
command-line oriented, like raw DOS. If you're comfortable with command-
line operations (where you type all commands), then these may be useful
and even fun to try. But if you're strictly a mouse-oriented, point-and-
click user, you'd be better off with some of the small-footprint Linux-
on-a-CD versions.=20
=20
If you're interested in learning the Linux command line, there are many
places that offer how-tos and tutorials online. See:

Best wishes - bjh
