Thanks, these are old packages and are no longer needed. I deleted them
from the trinux.org and io.com mirror.

I added an update 24mb ISO (2.4.5 kernel) to
http://www.trinux.org/trinux.iso -- not all the packages get loaded
because it would fill up the partitions.

You can also boot from this with a boot floppy (see boot.img on the
ISO) then load packages from the CD-ROM if you want to save network
settings.

PicoBSD is *BSD (obviously)

http://busybox.lineo.com has a pretty good list of links to other distros
although there are a lot of them on freshmeat or

http://dmoz.org/Computers/Software/Operating_Systems/Linux/Distributions/Tiny/


I think everybody has made a small linux...
