BasicLinux is _much_ smaller than Pygmy.  It sits in a DOS
directory and uses about 2meg of space -or- it can be booted
from two floppies.  Currently it includes links (better than
lynx), telnet and ftp.  There's room to add fetchmail, if 
that's what people want, but I was assuming Arachne would do
the mail.

Mulinux is even smaller and includes a wondrous array of
stuff.  But most of it is 'rustic' and has only limited
functionality.  In contrast, BasicLinux uses standard, 
fully-functional versions of telnet, ftp, links, pppd 
and ipfwadm.

Cheers,
Steven
