X Windows On A Floppy (Xwoaf)
X Windows On A
Floppy (Xwoaf) is a complete standalone bootable Linux floppy that runs
from a RAM disk. It provides the basic functionality required to turn any
computer into a modern communication node. It features X applications that
are primarily converted (n)curses-based programs with a custom Xlib-only
xcurses module. These include an rxvt terminal, txplor (file manager),
retawq (Web browser), popselectx (email reader), edx (text editor),
calendar, bcalc (calculator), and HexView. Xwoaf was made available at
version 0.1.0, released March 18, 2004.

X Windows On A Floppy (Xwoaf) Posted Mar 26, 2004 1:48 UTC (Fri) by Duncan (guest, #6647) [Link] All that, PLUS the kernel, on 1.44MB floppy? WOW!I assume the floppy includes ext2/3 and possibly vfat support. Does it also do reiserfs? I ask since all my partitions are reiserfs. What's the kernel, BTW, and is everything it needs compiled in or does it use an initrd? Duncan
X Windows On A Floppy (Xwoaf) Posted Mar 26, 2004 23:17 UTC (Fri) by giraffedata (subscriber, #1954) [Link] Note that it means X Window System On A Floppy. Windows is something else entirely, and "X Windows" is just a queer melding of the two names.
