It's a "drop in" that uses loadlin to boot about 20MB of pretty inclusive
stuff - designed with SLIP/PPP in mind (dead easy to configure a
connection), but not
restricted to that.  Go to sunsite, look in 'incoming', as the author
updates quite frequently (Kent Robotti, although I am probably misspelling
this).  An excellent way for people to play with Linux without up-front
headaches about partitions and such.
