If you are looking for something that install under windows, you probably wont find it, you would be better to try a live distro, this is a distro that runs of a cd/dvd without having to install it. Then if you like it, you can choose to install to the hard drive, you will need a spare partition on your hard drive to do this though.

Ubuntu has a version that you can run under Windows - don't recall the mechanism - is it qemu?

Anyway, if that's what you are trying to do, perhaps look at the Ubuntu site

Maybe Tinycore Linux is what you are looking for...

Wubi install Ubuntu in Windows. You could also check out Cygwin.

Xavier, I got one letter out of 4, does that make me 25% correct (and a q is just a b rotated 180 degrees, so maybe 50%)

I am working with FreeDos and I may need Linux. to compile copy source code from linux
to port etc. Figured that something I could start from DOS would make my life easier.

I already knew about the live cds, so far all that boots is DSL, DSLN, Puppy and Slax
its an older laptop. Lifebook 770TX with 160Ram. Great for dos, so-so for everything else LOL.
Need something lean and mean but not too lean.

Anyone know the status of ZipSlack?
