ZipSlack
ZipSlack is a special edition of Slackware Linux that can be
installed onto any FAT (or FAT32) filesystem with about 100 MB of
free space. It uses the UMSDOS filesystem and contains most of
the programs you will need. This means that you do not need to
repartition your hard disk if you already have DOS or Windows
installed. ZipSlack installs into a directory on your DOS
filesystem. It can also be installed to and booted from a Zip
disk.
This distribution is ideal for people who don't have a lot of
hard disk space, do not have a fast Internet connection to
download the entire distribution, or who want a Linux
distribution they can carry around on a Zip disk.
