Sure would be nice to get a bootable Linux that reliably downloads to,
and works in, a standard 1.4MB floppy disk. Sometimes on questionable
floppy disks (or perhaps their 3.5" drives), fdformat'ing for the
~1.7MB req of a tomsrtbt will fail whereas fdformat'ing for the
standard 1.4MB size will work fine (e.g., for the pair of standard
Slackware "boot" and "root" disks)

The first disk of BL3 can be used standalone (without X or modules). Hit control-C instead of putting in disk 2.

Maybe after adding small insmod or modprobe program from here

ftp://ftp.freenet.de/pub/lart.info/42/module-init-tools-3.1.tar.bz2

Statically linked against dietlibc. Back up one directory. vim, pcmcia, kbd, gzip, coreutils, binutils....

What are the relative merits of uclibc (later versions require kernel 2.4+) and dietlibc?

Are there sites with other assembly-language linux programs than what is in asmutils? Did you include e3pi as editor?

Do you know how to port DOS nasm programs with hardware calls to linux?
My partner wrote a 4K editor that works under dosemu and does a lot.

and kernel modules from here

http://riksun.riken.go.jp/pub/pub/Linux/slackware/slackware-7.1/modules/2.2.16/net/

For BL3 kernel you need Stephen's 2.2.26 modules not SW71 2.2.16.

I just uploaded new version of SAMEL linux, which boots in 3 megabytes
even with syslinux, so I removed loadlin and added more programs
Samir

Sounds great! We have had a few failing computers that would boot with syslinux but not loadlin sometimes.
