Hai,


i have a problem can any one give me solution to this. My aim is to
make a linux image tha can fit into a floppy with minium requirments.

i have compiled the linux Kernel and got The bzimage. After this wha
is the process to do.

If you have to build bzImage, it's too big for a floppy. You also need
a root file system on the same floppy. So, aim for a zImage of less
than 600K. Forget about 2.6 or 2.4 kernels. Look into 2.2 or even 2.0
kernels.


so that i can fit linux into a single floppy.


Thanking you
