Linux on a floppy?
Hi, I'm new here, I guess, and sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this. I took a look and though this would be the most preferable place.
So. To business.
I have a laptop. An old...old...very old laptop.
I also have Windows installed on it from a very...very long time ago. (So long ago, in fact, that I've forgotten my password.)
All it has is a simple floppy drive, but it's in great working condition, so I thought I'd see if I can get Linux on a floppy for it.
So here's where you come in.
Does anyone know what the best distro is that comes on a floppy, and if and where I can attain this?
Thanks!
