Is it possible?? loaf with java support

hi...this my first time here.Hope u guys can help.

I'm currently trying to recompile the kernel to build a linux on a floppy. what i'm wondering is that whether i can have java support in it.
what i doing is to boot with the disk and run a java program in it. Is it possible?

pls help. thanks.

Forget about it. Java Runtime Environment is too big to put in single floppy disk.

Thank you for your reply.

But is there a way to so this by putting it in a 250 mb hard disk and run it?? btw... this comp is very very old.

thanks once again.

if it is possible, how am i suppose to put java support in the kernel to run the programme? Could you provide any good relevant links?

Thank you!

You don't need to do that. ( put java support into kernel )
Java has nothing to do with kernel unleast you configure the kernel in very weird way. This is unlikely happen. Just install linux as usual into old computer. Then install java RE into the os.
but I doubt the performance java in old computer.

Hope that helps.
