Linux on a floppy anyone?


I am wondering, does anyone know of a extremely small Linux that can fit on a floppy, and have BASH commands available?

I dont like using a 98 boot floppy with only a small number of commands everytime I need to do something.

Any ideas?

Have a look at http://www.linuxrouter.org/ :
"Linux Router Project (LRP) n.
A networking-centric micro-distribution of Linux.
LRP is small enough to fit on a single 1.44MB floppy disk, and makes
building and maintaining routers, access servers, thin servers, thin clients,
network appliances, and typically embedded systems next to trivial."

There are a ton of them listed at linux.org. Check below the commercial distributions under "Mini and Specialty Distributions"

My personal favorite is tomsrtbt micro linux. It's saved my butt a few times.
