    Wow, it (1.3mb) can fit on a single 3.5" floppy.

    If they used mescc-tools, gnu mes and M2libc.

    They could have had a full Unix environment in even less space

    I would just like to take this opportunity to let people know that the creator of Damn Small Linux has revived the project recently with a larger but modern yet still damn small distro.

    https://www.damnsmalllinux.org/

    (It has a GUI and stuff, so it’s significantly bigger than the distro in the video.)
