A newer kernel most definitely wouldn't fit on a floppy. 2.4+ was where they loosened the requirements and kernels started getting into the multi-megabyte territory.
- anthk 5y agoLinux 2.4 could fit in a floppy perfectly. Check NehaBodi, nethack 3.4.3 in a floppy disk.
- deaddodo 5y agoSorry, I meant 2.4 was where they relaxed the restrictions; it wasn't until 2.6 that the kernel was reliably too large to fit on a floppy.
