Para distribuições Linux que podem ser instaladas usando um disquete, você pode ver este recurso . Algumas das distros que você pode experimentar são:
- tomsrtbt: "The most Linux on one floppy disk." rescue/panic/emergency diskette, or shirt-pocket Linux toolkit. It's goal iscontain as much stuff as possible on 1 floppy disk, keep it self contained, build under itself, and try to make it behave like a normal system. rescue and recovery functions get priority hot
- BG-Rescue Linux: BG-Rescue Linux is a very small Linux distribution that fits on either two floppy disks or one eltorito-boot. The system is a BusyBox 1.00 and uClibc 0.9.20 based rescue system with kernel 2.4.29. blueflops: blueflops is a 2-floppy Linux distribution with a graphical web browser ("links" with SVGALIB) and a text-mode IRC client ("epic4"). The kernel version is 2.6.11.7 with almost all of the Ethernet drivers and PPP support (for dial-up connections).
- Fd Linux: Fd Linux is a very tiny floppy distribution of Linux, set to fit on one floppy disk (kernel and root fs are combined!). All binaries are based on Red Hat. Fd Linux has been optimized, tested and is able to run on as little as a 386 with 8MB of RAM.
- PiTux: Pitux is a floppy distro that transforms an old low-RAM machine in a very useful serial terminal running minicom. Kernel 2.4 and uClibc based it needs only 4 MB of ram.
