Despite its minuscule size it strives to have a functional and easy to use desktop. Why? Because having a working Linux desktop on a 50 mb bootable business card CD is just too cool not to do. -------------- This might be able to do what you want.

I used to use Linux Router Project, an entire linux router on a floppy. It would load into a RAM disk, and worked very well on a 486 with 32 meg of ram that I had lying around. I imagine that if they're still around, they'd to the trick. Ben -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
