I am looking for a small OS. I am trying to put something on an old COMPUADD laptop just for the kicks of it. It has a 486sx processor, 115MB of HDD space and 4MB of RAM. If anyone knows of an OS with a GUI that will work with this system, could they point me to a website or something. I would like to see this thing boot into an Operating System. Any help would be great, thanx!

Linux
You can get linux running on old 4mb laptops.
Look in the howtos on tldp.org

QNX, man!  Back in the day they had a demo that included a full GUI, web browser, text editor, and a couple other little apps, all running off a 1.44MB floppy!

If you want something small, and fast, QNX is your answer.

I don't quite recall how I got my copy of QNX... but it's fully legal, anyway, so I would imagine there's still a free download from www.qnx.ca (that's right... it's Canadian   hehe... yep, so am I )

If you can't find the download, let me know, and I'll see if I can find my ISO.

Cheers,
Jeff

You can download a full version(For Students, Hobbyists, and Community Developers) at www.qnx.com(http://www.qnx.com/products/eval/index.html)

yah, I tried Menuet OS and its awsome, it runs off of the floppy and has a ton of graphics options... and it works on almost any system. heres a link:          www.menuetos.org

You can try out UbixOS its very lite fits onto a floppy with gui and small apps. It uses vesa support so it should support your laptop for more info check the website http://www.ubixos.com/ or join us on undernet channel #UbixOS
