Anyone use linux on a floppy? If so what do you use it for?

rescue disks like tomsrtbt fit on a 1.44, also a large number of tiny firewall distros and similar exist for low end hardware.

This is not alt codes at all.
Nor different language on the keyboard. (Mongolian ==>>ытйжэйыы)

The editor can't understand the characters.(me neither)

Yes, but it is becoming rarer. you can purcahse usb floppy drives. I use pxe so much, I hardly use a floppy except on old clunkers.

I was curious because I haven't bought a new PC for a while (my newest is a P4), but I also haven't used a floppy since I upgraded a 486DX2-80 with an aftermarket CD burner (too long ago to try to recall).
