I have Libreeto 50CT with CF card HDD and PCMCIA Floppy. I installed DOS 7.10 on it. Works like it should. Now I wish I have some small linux (puppy or DSL), Windows 98 and MS-DOS.
Since I have no CD-Rom, my only option is to install it some other computer.
Is anyone have image of multibooted hdd for Libretto 50CT? Any size!
What linux OS would be able to run on it?

DSL should work, considering its required specs, but installing it will be problematic, so you'd better start with a plain Debian and use the install from hdd option (which many distros used to support, with some caveat, like RedHat needing the supplemental floppy but not supporting your PCMCIA floppy drive...)

The simplest solution would be to use ZipSlack, the last version based on Slackware 11 uses the kernel 2.4.33

Or Mulinux using the direct hdd install, but that one uses the 2.0.36 kernel, so it's very old

Both install directly to your FAT partition, so it's handy, as you don't have to deal with the unsupported PCMCIA floppy drive.
