As you may or may not be aware, there are several "micro" Linux
distributions out there that boot from one or two floppies and run off a
Ramdisk.  (See http://www.linuxhq.com or
http://www.txdirect.net/users/mdfranz/tinux.html for details.)

Because of their small or non-existent footprint, micro-Linuxes are
especially suited to running on laptops -- particularly if you use a
company-provided laptop running Win95.

As the maintainer of Trinux (one of these distributions that has a network
security emphasis) I've received a large number of requests for
Laptop/PCMICIA support.  As I don't have the hardware (or the expertise,
really) to test all the possible chipsets and NIC configurations I'm
looking for any assistance that can be provided by Linux laptop users.
While I can't give any compensation (hey, this is Linux!) , I will give
you credit for any work on this project.

See the http://www.txdirect.net/users/mdfranz/trinux.html for details.

Thanks a lot.
