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?

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!
