  regarding small Linux distros:
 One of my Linux-crazed friends has been maintaining his Crash Recovery
 Kit distro, which can do more than its name suggests. I keep it on one
 of those small creditcard-sized CDR's :)
 It is now comkplete enough to serve as a base system.
 Check it out at

 No affiliation, etc... he's just a good friend, and I prefer OpenBSD
 over Linux, soo ;) 
I once had a functioning NetBSD (1.4.1, if memory serves) system running
quite well on a pair of 2.88MB floppies.  It actually worked pretty well.
