Another nice diskette distro is this:
http://rugxulo.googlepages.com/ - the
files are newer and you can download
1, 2 or 3 normal 1.44 MB sized floppy
images or file collections or, nice in
boot CD / DVD / USB context, a single
2.88 MB version with simpler boot menu.

Interesting - you can also install DOS on
USB stick or SD and use it from there if
you do not want to replace your Linux/Win.

Would the default zip with sources, docs and executable work? Or do
I have to use 7zip or similar to get through your email spam filter?
Some filters dislike zips with executables. Thanks for testing :-).
