A.2.4. Booting from the hard disk
You can boot the installer not from removable media, but simply from an existing hard disk, which can contain various operating systems. Download the files hd-media/initrd.gz, hd-media/vmlinuz and the Debian CD image to the root directory of your hard drive. Check that the CD image has a filename that ends in .iso. Now just boot linux from initrd.
is this real?

Answer 3

A long time ago (when flop drives were relevant) I collected operating systems the size of a floppy disk
- MenuetOS
- KolibriOS </a - a fork of MenuetOS
- PicoBSD. A fully working system, albeit a stripped-down
one, is the QNX Demo Disk (a build of QNX with network support, Photon (GUI), and a browser (sic!)). It caused a WOW effect
- FreeDOS
- There were also micro assemblies of linux + DSL Linux, RIP Linux, Puppy Linux (these are already "full" systems: ~ 30-100mb) for repair and as a workplace. A zoo of systems (there were 8-10 of them) lived on one Mini-CD.
Actually, I can advise you to try the above systems + BeOS, OS / 2, etc. There is little practical use, but there is a sea of ​​\u200b\u200bpleasures (launching in virtual machines does not stand next to authentic hardware). Floppy rustle, dilap, gray dusty cases… romance =)

Answer 4

There used to be a Damn Small Linux distribution . For your idea, it is just that, though it has not been updated for a long time. There are newer ideas, for example Porteus , without guarantees that it will suit you. In general, a couple of years ago, on the 386th, I assembled gentoo stage0 just for fun for a couple of weeks.

Answer 5

of course gentoo
, but I would take care of the cross-compiler, otherwise it will take a long time to wait

Answer 6

oh, by the way, OS/2, very cool thing

Answer 7

I would choose Debian + icewm. Or Puppy. Or, at worst, Basic Linux + Opera.
