Pocket Linux – a minimal, one floppy Linux based system designed to quickly convert PC workstation into secure Linux-based workstation using ssh to connect to remote host. It supports bootp for determining host IP and other network parameters.

The last version 2.51 of the minimal in size Linux system was released by the author in 1998.
There is also available a newer version of 2.51-fix-4 released by Arkadiusz Miskiewicz.
That URL hasn’t been valid for a very, very long time. Another, unrelated organization came along and essentially stole the name from Coven, and (thankfully) doesn’t seem to be around any more, at least not in the same form. The correct URL is pocket-lnx.org for English and pocket-lnx.org/index.html.po for Polish.
