That's just the .iso disk image file size. It doesn't use any of the fixed disk in the machine, because it runs from the RAM and the CDROM. Perhaps one of the many 'firewall' distributions might suit better. remove what you don't need & it will probably ( just ) fit in. But for the ultimate in linux on a floppy there are:- http://www.toms.net/rb/ http://www.ecks.org/projects/loaf/ Then if you can stomach something which is not 'pure' Linux but similar there's Minix. http://www.cs.vu.nl/~ast/minix.html ( Microkernel architecture, even runs on an original PC with an 8088 :-) Also don't forget that the absolute minimus base of debian is pretty small. Then there is Linux from Linus' student days. ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/Linux/PEOPLE/Linus/linux-1.0.tar.gz Only half in jest :-)
