A compact distro that would fit on a few disks and contain elks, a nice
editor for non-vi-enthusiasts (a tiny emacs? Even ms works 1.1. runs on
dos 3.3. on my 8088), support for several keymaps, a small rogue-like
game, a calendar app...
I think elks works ok but apps are needed. Then just call it 1.0 and whoa!
end-users will emerge to jam the 0806 list.
