People,

Alpine is very nice! - thanks for all the good work! I just booted it in a VM and and was very impressed - I will be looking at it more now that I making more use of Docker images (my regular workstation and server machines are Fedora).

I know the genealogy of Alpine and I had a look at the LEAF site - which seems to have stalled some years ago - so I am wondering: would it actually be possible to create a branch of Alpine that could boot on a floppy (or two)? This would be nice for when I do work on very old hardware . .

Regards,

Phil.

BTW, is it possible for a Forum admin to change my login name from "Philip Rhoades" to "philip_rhoades" - I presume if I try to create a second account with the same email address there will be a problem and I can't see a way of deleting this account and starting again . .
