On that I should try OS/1337 (@OS1337), which looks like it pretty much fulfills my vision of a basic Linux distro that fits on a floppy, complete with a package manager that probably may also install packages from other floppies

Ideally I'd want it to tell me to insert disk 2 lol

@Yuki at this point #spm isn't yet up and running and certainly doesn't fit a 1440kB FDD...

Currently it's pre-alpha so expect things to break, but suggestions, feedback and testing is welcome...

This is the current build...

Needless to say it's a work in progress and being worked upon...

@Yuki As of now the design goal is a single 1440kB FDD as something one can bootstrap to arbitrary complexity.

Inspired by @landley 's #mkroot and @w84death 's #Floppinux as well as #tomsrtbt.

Tho Ideally we'd not have #SLS / #Slackware - style #FloppyOrgies and preferably have a #Minimalist #Linux that pulls necessities from a mirror [cacheable!] if need be or from a mini-CD...

@Yuki not that I want to discourage anyone, but it would be frankly dishonest if I didn't clarify the current state OS/1337 is in.

OFC I want it to get there...
Just don't expect this to be a smooth ride as of now.

@OS1337 @Yuki that being said that is.kinda the scope of it.and at the very least the 1440 kB Version should be able to install an image to a disk and boot that...
