@whitekiba with the goal of being able to start a system with the single 1440kB floppy, make a ramdisk at runtime, download all the necessary packages from a repo ( https://github.com/OS-1337/pkgs ) with like a simple package manager ( https://github.com/OS-1337/spm )...

If necessary (and currently feasible) is going:
1. Booting toybox/Linux from FDD
2. Script generates ramdisk amd mounts it.
3. Script uses toybox's integrated wget and downloads all the other parts into ramdisk.

Kinda "#netlive" system...

@whitekiba I mean I don't look for computational efficiency....

OFC modern crypto needs a lot of processing power...

But I'd even consider doing a #ramdisk and making a script that #wget's #dropbear as a working hack...

Even if that makes it a sort-of "#netlive" [ #netinstaller meets #live #linux] workaround...
