Hi.
No, I don't either anymore have 2.6 on a single floppy, but I did once.
I have been able to push a 2.6 kernel to 420k. It wasn't really usable, but it

Hi all,
Is it still possible to make a simple Linux system on a floppy? Kernel
2.6 seems to have slightly growth in size. Smallest kernel I've built
