I have a 171 MB drive. My older computers don't have USB or CD to boot from, so I keep this as sort of a plug-in LiveIDE. The only OS I found that could fit on it is Debian Woody. I haven't tried tweaking NetBSD to fit. <Jest> Perhaps there needs to be a new fork: OldBSD: Unix for the Ages. It actually wouldn't have to be a total fork, just OpenBSD Release with stuff removed. No sound, no wireless, ISA and basic PCI, IDE (no SATA if it takes more room), OK for USB. Just the basics for boxes that are getting hard to fit the regular OS on. </Jest> Doug.
