Well, there is plenty of alternatives... http://www.linux.org/dist/index.html So, curiously, why did you pick this specific one? /Morgan Russell McMahon wrote: >Tiny Linux - targeted at 386 level PCs (free of course) > >Get two floppy disks, .... ! :-) > > http://tiny.seul.org/ -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList .....piclist-unsubscribe-requestKILLspam@spam@mitvma.mit.edu

I always thought peeweelinux was the best for making small linuxes, you can choose your target, including floppy , compactflash, etc, and choose what packages you want, and bam, it does it for you. It is very cool to boot off that old, "worthless" 8MB flash card from my camera :) Cheers, Bob -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList EraseMEpiclist-unsubscribe-requestmitvma.mit.edu

Not linux per se, but does it really need to be? And it was a commercial product, but it has been released under a free liscence as well. All of this is, of course, AFAIK. - --Brendan -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPfreeware 6.5.8 for non-commercial use <http://www.pgp.com> iQA/AwUBPVqT7AVk8xtQuK+BEQKAYgCeJDvD2iA19nWabJ7uuC8TwuHJxdUAoOCl b3rsVh4HfiiOe/arg53B4lPC =3rHf -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList RemoveMEpiclist-unsubscribe-requestspam_OUTKILLspammitvma.mit.edu

Even for the *free* edition? Check the downloads section http://www.qnx.com/developer/download/free/ is what we should be looking at. --Brendan > Beucoup bucks. > > > > How about Qnx?

You can download it for free and play with it - but once you want to use it in a commercial application you are looking at it costing about $10K for a licence to use it (I am pretty sure it doesn't cost that per target platform - if I rem rightly that is an unlimited licence <off to look again> (maybe not - too much legal sleaze umm err I mean legalease to digest) Eoin >>> EraseMEbmoranspamspamBeGoneMILLENNIUM.CA 08/14/02 01:15PM >>> Even for the *free* edition?

It's cool once you learn it, but there's learning curve that comes from a dearth of documentation. I went on a quest to find an embedded Linux to use, and settled on PeeWee. For some reason, I never hit on the page that /Morgan posted here. Having run it through that form, I now have another half dozen to look at. Though I've already chosen. I do know Coyote. That's what my firewall is made of. For the PeeWeeLinux project, I have to figure out how to get from the web server to some external control. I will have an audience of PICs out there just waiting to hear from me. I think there is an I2C module for the kernel though I didn't see it in the stock config. Any hints would be appreciated. It will also be fun to see what else I can build out of this embedded stuff. X terminal? TCP monitor? Samba box? ...

It WILL help >something I am working on at home. All distributions will let you start the install by making one or two floppies. And many of them have a "base" install requiring a dozen or so diskettes. Debian used to be famous for this.
