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.

Would you settle for fitting it onto a single CD-ROM? I ask partly because
it is probably impossible to fit a 2.4 or 2.6 kernel onto a floppy anymore.

But also because I have found floppies these days to be so unreliable that I
prefer to write stuff (e.g., memtest86) that definately fit on a floppy onto
a CD-ROM because I am sure I can read it when I need it.

And finally, because some computers these days no longer have a floppy drive
at all. But all the newer ones can still read a CD-ROM.

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

so that i can fit linux into a single floppy.


Thanking you
