[SOLVED] Tiny Distro with only a text editor needed.

[Dave!]

Morning! Here's my senseless request:

I would like an installation of Linux that supports a text (sorry, I originally wrote test) editor and USB. I think that's all I need. Any ideas/suggestions?

A customly built kernel with USB and console support compiled in as modules and starting a statically linked version of nano instead of init is as tiny as it gets

If you don't know what the heck I am talking about, use this instead
tiny linux

Thanks for the tip! I was with you for about half of the way, I suppose I'll start googling the rest...

Another actively maintained super minimal linux distro is ttylinux.

ttylinux is great! Minimal and straight-forward. Just what I was looking for to get started with really learning linux. Many thanks!

Glad it's working out for you. I only discovered it recently myself.
