You should avoid to install Linux on a floppy disk. It would be way
more faster and you'd be less concerned by a few mega of disk usage.

I can count the Mb's on the fingers of one hand

That's probably why you can't access websites with Linux. You should
install everything needed instead. You wouldn't need to ask Windows to
do it for you.

Still, my in-tree kernel modules total 6Mb and that's how
it should be.  GNU/Linux is quite efficient.

Yes, it's the way it gives you an excuse to use Windows.

The mainstream distros, however, are forced to cram 160Mb
when only 6Mb are actually necessary.

And let me access any website without the need to fall back on Windows.
You see? You are not a Linux defender, you are a Windows aficionado.

Don't keep apologizing for this lunacy.

I don't.
