hi,
if your system is too broken to even use sash (linux 1 at the lilo boot
prompt.) why don't you check out tomsrtbt...
it uses kernel 2.0 + libc5 i think, but i hear that if you want to use glibc
you can, provided that yo have glibc placed somewhere on the hasrd drive,
and you can use chroot. a lot of the commands in toms are actually clevwerly
written shell scripts.
vim and emacs?!! they wouldn't fit on one floppy...btw, tomsrtbt does have
vi.
