Not really, I've used quite a few "Floppy size OS's" Menuet is one of the best though. In fact, I think I might redownload it. Thanks.

I had a friend who always carried around a custom compiled version of D.S.L. (Damn Small Linux) on a floppy diskette...

He was a geek...
He was my role model...
He gave me my Unix box!!!

there also must've been like no operating system there. DSL is 50 megs by default there bud.

Yeah...
His version of DSL was basically the Kernel, the hardware interface drivers, and a telnet client.
It did have a GUI interface...
sort of...

It did still have the splash screen of the giant penguin though!

I understand that, what I was saying was obviously he removed MOST of the operating system to get it onto the floppy. So it was pointless. Geeky, yes, but pointless. When you remove alot of the functionality to get it to fit on a small space, you're just showing off. So I : rolleye : because he idolized this guy.

Actually, it was not THAT geeky a thing to do...

You see he actually use that disk regularly as a diagnostics tool for various computers. He would use the disk to boot into his limited version of a telnet client, and then use that to access a full Unix server he kept online, and then run/download various hardware diagnostics tools. This allowed him to diagnose and repair computers using a Library of tools, without having to crate around 500 floppy disks... It also allowed him to work on system without CD drives, with bad or questionable hard drives, or password protected systems…

Well. Ok it was THAT geeky, but it was geeky with a cause…
