<div class="Wj3C7c">Agreed, Scott. I have installed a fairly complete version of SuSE Linux on<br>a 512mb flash, with space left over, for use in an imbedded controller<br>project at work. Doing a regular install and leaving out the big things<br>
(X-windows, KDE/Gnome, and all the X-based stuff mainly) was easier than<br>hunting down a small footprint Distro, since I've been using SuSE for many<br>years. There's still a lot of stuff I don't need (CUPS, and a bunch of<br>
other things), but it fit, so I stopped there.<br><br>I've seen Linux run completely from a floppy disk (but it didn't do much),<br>and there are several distros that fit easily and run completely from a CD<br>ROM, one in particular fits on the small "credit card" size 50mb disk. I<br>
find they are particularly useful for recovering crashed Windows PCs...<br><br>Have fun,<br><br>Greg KO6TH<br><br><br>----------------------------------------<br>> Date: Thu, 13 Mar 2008 09:31:52 -0700<br>> From: <a href="mailto:scott@opentrac.org">scott@opentrac.org</a><br>
