Nope. Your only options will be BasicLinux 1.7 (8mb RAM) and the new BasicLinux 2.x (12mb RAM). > How about executing loadlin.exe using a bootable floppy? > Perhaps using an autoexec.bat file.

I do not like the idea of a multi-floppy distribution. Unzip and go is *much* nicer. If necessary, I will do a one-floppy option for winXT. > If you use less than 1.2 M on each floppy image, it > could be written on either 1.2 or 1.44 M floppies, > which might be handy. The original make_fd.bat in BasicLinux worked for both 1.2mb and 1.44mb floppies. AFAIK nobody ever used it with 1.2mb floppies, so that option was removed (to make make_fd.bat easier to use with win9x). However, all of this is speculative. It will take a lot of work to produce BL2. At the moment I'm not sure it's worth the trouble.
