I'm currently running "0 for 5" on that site. Do *ANY* of those
distrib's/"flavours" actually *exist*?
Click to expand...

I just went to that site, hit a couple links at random, they took me
to sites where the stuff seems to be. Which ones didn't work for you?
Click to expand...

I tried checking in on some of the 1 to 2 floppy editions (with "X", or
variation). However... invalid links :(

I just tried some of them again. Tom's Root Boot is not there, but
that's an easy one to find - just Google, it's everywhere. Home page
is here: http://www.toms.net/rb/

Trinux, pocket Linux, floppix, mulinux, DLX are all there of the first
few. XDenu is not - home page is here:
http://public.www.planetmirror.com/pub/xdenu/

Airmid is not there and seems to have disappeared.

CCLinux appears to be a Spanish language distro or something - the one
page I found was in Spanish.

Couple of others weren't there, too. But most of them are.

And, unfortunately, http://xdenu.tcm.hut.fi/ is an invalid url :(
 
Right, the one I listed is the new home page apparently.

On which the downloads-page is:
http://public.www.planetmirror.com/pub/xdenu/download.html

And the link to ftp-server is:
ftp://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/linux/xdenu/floppyx/

Finally yeilding: "The operation timed out when attempting to contact
mirror.aarnet.edu.au."
-

So, off I went, searching on the web, for FloppyX. It would appear (that) the
one & only hosting server had been 'xdenu.tcm.hut.fi', which, apparently, no
longer exists...

Okay, I didn't actually try to download it. Apparently it no longer
exists anywhere that I can find.

Why don't people take down Web sites that aren't functional and run
link checkers to make sure their links still work? Morons...

Right - also I just found out it only runs on stuff like 386's
anyway... It was more of a terminal emulator than a real distro. The
other stuff is better than that.
