I like this idea too. But I doubt you can fit the browser on a floppy, and
still have room for Java VM and the classes... I'm not saying it's
impossible, I just would like to see it myself :-)) OTOH, if you have
specific idea how to do this, I'd love to know it.
I already thought about this, and my idea was to prepare an image of FFS
filesystem that could be put as a file on DOS partition, and then vnconfig
it and mount as root. There you could fit all you want...
