"tomsrtbt" fits on one bootable floppy.  It is easy to
costomize.  Put this floppy in any PC, reboot and you
have a Linux PC without need to disturb the PC's hard
drive.  Do a search on "tomsrtbt"

It is surprizingly complete.  Here is a quote:

I don't know if it qualifies as news or an announcement or whatever.

I've made several recent improvements to the 'tomsrtbt' packagek,
which is either a rescue diskette or a distribution depending on
how you look at it (I put it in the system/recovery folder on Sunsite,
but linux-hq calls it a 'single floppy distribution'.)

Recent enhancements include command history overtop ash, support
for tulip cards, easier customization, a way to install it from DOS.
