Hummm. Got both tomsrtbt and coyote Linux running. coyote Linux is very nice and I have other apps for it. But none of those had minicom on them.

tomsrtbt, the ltsp boot disk, coyote linux... they may not be what you're looking for, but those're the three floppy linux distros I use on a regular basis.

Any one no of a good Linux distro that fits onto a floppy. I have a old laptop that I would like to use as a dumb terminal. So all i need is minicom. Thx -Adam Talbot

cat /dev/ttyS0 cat > /dev/ttyS0
