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...
