systemrescuecd-x86-0.2.15.iso has a few useful programs and fits on a small (8cm) CD. INSERT-1.3.5a_en.iso is even smaller (50MB) and fits on a business card sized CD. dsl-1.5.iso is a small general purpose distro which also fits on a business card sized CD. Puppy fits on a small USB stick. Current version is 1.0.4 with 1.0.5 due out next week. cheers, Ken -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
