I thought we determined:
You cant install Linux via Floppy...
And the computer wouldent get that great of performance anyways... and the drive will most likely die out soon.

    http://www.linux.org/dist/list.html
    Follow the link, open the category menu, and select minimalist, and Go.
    There's a few distros that say they fit on floppies. (you'll have to weed through the unmaintained ones)
    Seriously.... Did no one look at linux.org!? ::)

      Linux.org is where you go to find out about Linux.

      You didn't tell us anything about why you could not get Coyote to work, so I think this thread is running out of steam.
