what this is for is i am trying for my school project is to make a micro pc so what i have done was i am my freinds and teachers we build a mini computer with a touch screen and a cd drive and it has a amd 64 2200+ in it and it was a tablet pc at first but now we are making it smaler
i have the tast of think of a way to save space and money so i though of a cd drive mini so u just insert the disk and boot even without a hard drive

this is not for money it is just a learning experience for me and my freinds so we wont sell any thing we make and we will give credit to those who help thanks and ps i will show pics and blue prints of our design

LoaF : Linux on a Floppy 1.44M

Zip Slack : Slackware Linux for small systems, about 100M.

You can also find a large list of "Small Linux Distributions" here

nice link Gizmo, gonna have to bookmark that one

Haha, I did the exact same thing a few days ago with one of those tiny CD's. I put a fully functional 50MB distro on it, called Damn Small Linux, or DSL. It's only 50MB on the disc, and it still has X, and includes the Fluxbox window manager. Get it at http://www.damnsmalllinux.org

I donno, I'm still a fan of anything with "Slackware" on it

i am having trouble downloading them
it takes for ever i am cable internet so can u help me find a http faster download link please

you'd have to browse the individual distribution's website's for mirrors.
