NOT FUNCTIONAL YET!

dino-linux is a distro for 486SX (and up) computers with "little" memory (32MB+). Much of it is based off of FLOPPINUX documentation, see: https://github.com/w84death/floppinux

It makes an attempt to have a multi-stage initialization (small initramfs to disk to *), to reduce the size of the initramfs ramdisk.

> INSTALLATION:
The installer boots from 2 floppies: The first is the boot-disk, which holds a small kernel and initramfs. The second disk holds additional modules that lets it install to a HDD. The second floppy is only required if you want to install the OS onto a HDD.

When booted from the first floppy, use "install" to run the installer. You will be asked to insert the second floppy, and later, the first floppy again.

Only IDE (ATA/PATA) controllers supported by the ata_generic module will work.
