Get your RC now !!! Get a stable, secure desktop OS (Thats one that doesnt save the install user password in plain text) with all the options on 3 CDs

They fixed that now, as far as I know?

3 cds! aww ffs... windows comes on 1 cd, lots of linux come on 1 cd, and I bet if mac OSX was released... thatd come on one cd too (although it would be the prettiest cd ever known to man kind, however would have a crap build quality and scratch easily when placed into its iCdCarryCase).

Multi cd installs do my head in

Well you can install from 1cd if you dont need all the options - and if you want REALLY small theres Pico BSD

Yeah

http://elks.sourceforge.net/

But its very very limited and theyve also removed the handy links to stuff, something tells me its now defunct. They used to have a site from which you could download other floppy images to install bits. Worked fine in a 286 with 2mb ram.
