About:
Fd Linux is a mini floppy distribution of Linux set to fit on 1 floppy disk (kernel and root fs are combined). The sole purpose of this floppy distribution is to provide new Linux users with low-end machines (such as a 386) a very useful set of networking related binaries that can be easily accessed at any time, and which can be used in almost any networked environment (libraries, colleges, offices, small home LANs, dorm rooms, etc.).
Release focus: Major feature enhancements
Changes:
In this version, the kernel was upgraded to 2.4.20 and migrated to iptables. PCMCIA support was added to incorporate PCMCIA network cards and 802.11b wireless adapters, such as Lucent/Orinoco, Cisco, and D-Link cards. There was a complete rewrite of the rc.network automatic network configuration script, and this version moves over to the uClibc library set to save on space, upgrades to the udhcp DHCP client/server binaries, compiles in more commands and functions into BusyBox, provides working add-on packages for usage expansion, has the ability to mount extra portions of RAM to expand file system, and features much more.
