Fd
Linux is a very tiny floppy distribution of Linux, set to fit
on one floppy disk (kernel and root fs are combined!). All binaries are based on Red Hat.
Fd Linux is my own personal project. The intent of
this floppy distribution was to be able to provide new linux users
with low-end machines (e.g. 386) very useful set of
networking related binaries that could be easily accessed at any time, in which you could use in almost any networked environment
(libraries, colleges, offices, small home LANs, dorm rooms, etc.)
Fd Linux has been
optimized, tested and is able to run on as little as a 386 with 8MB of
RAM!
There is an immense collection of
features embedded into Fd Linux:
- Built-in firewall support
- IP-Masquerading
- Kernel and system-level logging
- User-friendly network setup
scripts
- ext2 and vfat (Windows) file system support
- In depth set of module loading
binaries
- Easy-to-use Interactive Network
Setup script
- LILO boot loader integration into
boot process
- Support for various popular Network Interface
Cards
- Wireless support tools
for 802.11b wireless card setup
-
Add-on package support for additional
utilities
- Customization of
startup scripts for personalized use
For anything you want to do, there's
Fd Linux! So, please feel free to download the latest
version and give it a try.
