It's a whole 2.8MB, and runs off two floppies. I don't recall the exact details of its X implementation, but I still vividly remember the thrill I felt that first time when, after modprobing (or insmoding?) the appropriate ethernet driver and then configuring and bringing up the interface, I had a working *nix system with a working network connection! https://distro.ibiblio.org/baslinux/ Celejar
