ZipSlack is a special edition of Slackware Linux that can be installed onto any FAT (or FAT32) filesystem with about 100 MB of free space. It uses the UMSDOS filesystem and contains most of the programs you will need. This means that you do not need to repartition your hard disk if you already have DOS or Windows installed. ZipSlack installs into a directory on your DOS filesystem. It can also be installed to and booted from a Zip disk. This distribution is ideal for people who don't have a lot of hard disk space, do not have a fast Internet connection to download the entire distribution, or who want a Linux distribution they can carry around on a Zip disk.
Great command line linux, the way linux administration is done. Great for learning and a very small download. Very easy to install, configure and boot. Well done distro.
The idea of a linux running in UMSDOS on a DOS hard drive is good, but when running installpkg I kept getting errors regarding not being able to create new directories. I could not solve it and because of this I cannot configure X. I am presently looking for a mailing list to fix this.
