Follow the link, there are a bunch of floppy based distros listed.
Only you can decide which is best.
thx ive got one now
i know you guys frown upon and lock "wich distro" threads but read first.
ok ive seen all the distro for old hardware lists but i want to know witch one can boot in floppies and download the rest of the stuff from a server.plus run in 24mb of ram with a window manager.
please dont lock this plz help
Well distrowatch myfriend ;)
But also I think you should checkout Debian net install. (or the even smaller one)
I dont think it fits on a Floppy but still.
As WindowsManager (if you really need one)
id go for Open/Fluxbox or xfce(witch it still big)
Check this page for floppy-based distros.
Note: I have not tried any of these distros, so I can't recommend which to choose.
Here's an additional small listing of floppy-based Linux distros:
