Hello all, This is the best source: <A HREF="http://www.toms.net/~toehser/rb/"><A HREF="http://www.toms.net/~toehser/rb/</A">http://www.toms.net/~toehser/rb/</A</A>> all the links are on the first page. Check out that cool ascii logo penguin all lit up in neon !! This all really brings me back to the old days of xafs, or something like that. I found my old boot disks before there was such a thing as a linux distribution. Alas, they wont boot :( That is how linux came, if you could figure out lilo... you were way cool !! So I am going in full circle, maybe thats how linux should be, a DIY. Here the user installs via a few floppies and the rest comes down the pipeline, as needed, thru netscape, I guess, utilizing a lot of java. Being I have a job :( it will be a few days before I get the light weight X stuff going. I cant do a full review of the character based micro linuxes because I have yet to get mulinux running. However it looks like you cant lose with the linux router package: <A HREF="http://www.linuxrouter.org/"><A HREF="http://www.linuxrouter.org/</A">http://www.linuxrouter.org/</A</A>> And those docs are something else. Despite being the present majority effort their offshore web servers crawl and the mirror sites, well, they aint. Similar situation with the "make NT look like Linux" project (really gnuNT), thru the Cygnus group. I hope those folks made some progress because 13 reboots/day was excessive. Emacs looks like the best way to do NT but... As far as the X windowing goes, that's even worse.

I think I read an article on it c't. A computer magazine from Germany, Hope it helps you,

On a similar note, i heard there was a "ipmasq/firewall" on a disk setup somewhere too. I am very interested in this. Does anybody have a clue as to where I might find it?

Hi John;

How about giving us a list of all the small Linuxs you've found? With web sites, if possible. :)

THANKS

Hello all,

Basically I found some really worthy micro linuxes, thanks. (I hope you read my review)

What I want to do now is get the Suse Cyrix Media GX driver

one of the super light Xwindowing systems.

Here, suddenly I have problems. The two packages with the X's are basically poorly maintained. I get corrupt files, the ftp machines wont answer, the mailing list is in Italian. This is getting crazy!!

So close yet so far. Any pointers, I'm sort-of getting flustered.
