There are some other linux distros using "umsdos", this is a
filesystem that emulates a unix file system over a dos fat disk.  Was
a common feature many years ago when the main OS was DOS and the
people was interested in to test linux without partition hard disk.

I remember my first linux expeiences with:

Monkey Linux, a 6 floppies that takes only about 20 Mb ram, including
webserver, X, and lot of things.

Mulinux, a 2 floppies distro including a basic X system.

Not sure, but think umsdos continues as an option on main distros as debian.
