Because floppy based Linux distributions require more RAM than hard disk based, I just prepared special floppy distribution intended for computers with minimal RAM (3 megabytes) but without hard disk. I gave it backronim SAMEL, (also the name of my two months old son) meaning: Small And Memory Economic Linux.

The floppy contains
- Kernel from BASIC Linux
- initfs.gz modified to point to the floppy
- all asmutils programs
- syslinux loader
- loadlin loader from DOS
- 800 kilobytes free space

It is on 1.44 floppy disk and uses only initial RAM disk. The image file for testing will be soon availabel on my BASIC Linux addons site.
