I know of Slax/Slackware based distros come with the ability to boot
from msdos. Are there any other flavours with this functionality? I
have a dell inspiron 2600/compaq armada e500 with bad with bad disk
controller and no cdrom. I can only boot from floppy to usb using
knoppix/slackware. I want some more options to run 2.6.x distros.
