Check out the site www.linux-embeded.com or somethin like that. This site
had been suggested to me by Prakash Shetty.
Some of the Single FDD distros that i found real cool was & meddled around
with was.
--> trinux ( www.trinux.org) .
One of the best according to me & is really easy to upgrade to use &
maintain. I uses the older Linux Kernels 1.0.* series & a msdos filesystem.
This distro completely runs form Ramdisks , thus u can remove ya floppy after
the boot procedure is over.
--> Check out DLX . Its ok but ain't too scalable as compared to TRINUX.
--> Check out Etherboot & Netboot ( www.slug.au )

"Null-Modem Cable" , i ain't too sure about ur question??. Is it the
same as a serial cable connecting 2 m/c's.
If it's the same Then u may as well as check out the net3 HOWTO.
It covers that.
