Have you seen MenuetOS? It's not Linux, but they sure cram a lot on a single floppy!
BootableCD distros are good fun too. Knoppix and Damn Small Linux are two good ones.
Best Wishes, Bob

I like HAL 91 it fits on a floppy. Is a good rescue disk. No gui. Best rescue CD is BBC Linux in my opinion. I really like Knoppix and Morphix etc as well. I own about all the live CDs there are all the way back to Demo Linux with the 2.2 kernel on it. I have never tried Tomsrbt but hear it is good . You can do a google search on any of those listed here and find them fairly easy. Good Luck Ron
