It's a very, very, very, very small version of Linux that fits on a 
single 1.44 floppy disk.

Some folks much smarter than I use it for troubleshooting, or for 
rescue, recovery and other emergencies. It runs the 2.0.39 kernel, can 
be networked, and includes the following programs:

I strongly urge you, if you decide to try it, to heed the warning on 
using a brand-new floppy disk for it.

Enjoy.
