Procedure for putting Linux on floppys?

What are the files I need to put Linux on a floopy and have it be able to run when I boot up my computer. Minummum requirements and there is no cd-drive only floopy.

free0n,

Do you want to run linux from floppy or do you want an emergency repair disk to boot from?

Just to run Linux off of the floopy.

Take a look here http://www.linux.org/dist/english.html

You can do a search on the page for floppy and you should find a few distros that are floppy-based. ;)

I downloaded a small distro of linux called LOAF linux. I think this is what you are looking for. Check it out at http://www.ecks.org/projects/loaf/

I'm actually looking for somthing that would boot from a clean
ms-dos harddrive. I mean totally clean the only thing it does is boot up with the C:\ and one file called the command which is the stupid Microsoft logo.

Sorry for not being specific.

any version of linux is good, but i prefer HAL91. do a search on (the best ever search engine) google.

So you want a version of linux that boots from Dos?

yeah your right I should install windows first then install linux, it's probably easier.
