[ale] full linux on a disk?

[Richard Holt]

MuLinux started as linux on a floppy.

It still is, but now offers much more utility. Can load from floppies, a umsdos on hard disk, or cloned onto a (mini) CD. The complete distro is about 35+MB. My current installed occupies 45MB. Take a look at  http://sunsite.dk/mulinux/

It uses 2.0.36 modular kernel. It has been mounted/cloned on CD.
