Are there Floppy distros running xorg? I think my uncle told me something 'bout it.

And do you know an active Floppy distro I can try? (Just for fun, I don't think I'm able to manage a CLI completely).

Highly doubt it.

GNU/Linux Floppy distros (http://www.linuxlinks.com/Distributions/Floppy/).

Thanks!
I was going to try Basi Linux when I realized that my Floppy is broken :(
I think I have to grab a floppy from an old machine or maybe I'll try it in a VM.

EDIT: For trying in a VM, I need an img file for DISK 2, What program makes img files that work in this case? I tried with CloneCD, but it didn't work.
