Linux

[berry]

Hellow,

I wanna make a small Linux version to fit on a floppy. It may use one or more diskettes, and probably a small reserved part of the hard disk for large applications. It is going to have a shell like Fluxbox or something. Is that difficult? Which parts and which distebution of linux needs to be changed?

I hate C so it would be pane for me,But if you like C it is not that hard, But Y  there are lots already done?.

True indeed!  Before inventing the wheel, I'd check out the list of distributions under linux.org.  There are quite a few that exist on a single floppy, and even more still that exist on minimal HDs.

Cheers,
Jeff

yes but maybe I can learn something from it! I absolutely can't do anything with assembly, and I will need it if I'm going to write an os. By Linux most parts are already done, so all I need to do it addapt it!

You will not learn a thing other than how to type,i can write a program from scrach and 3 month later not understand it, start small and add and lean.
I give you start :
