You know what, although I experimented with Lasermoon Linux/FT on CD in ~1996, and tried and failed to install Slackware 3.0 around then, the first Linux I ran as my daily desktop OS for a while was Caldera OpenLinux 1.
Your memory deceives you: it came on a CD. It needed 3 or 4 boot diskettes to get to the point where it could find your CD drive and start the installation process.
It had the first graphical installation in the Linux world, and while it wasn't a live environment and had no desktop, it did multitask: you could play Tetris while it installed.
