I remember running a QNX demo off a single floppy on a 66MHz 486. Included a web browser, a game ,and an editor, all in 1.44MB

and a kick-ass OS.

I remember that too. Very impressive, it was.

Do you mean muLinux (μLinux) ?

It was one of my first distro and it was awesome. A base system than ran in one floppy and then you could optionally add and combine more floppys depending of what you wanted (X system, IDE, games, latex, etc...) It was kind of the ancestor to Live CD

What's a floppy? Is it as small as an SD card?
