When was that? You can still run from a single floppy https://github.com/Steve3184/floppinux https://github.com/Steve3184/floppinux and some form of that was available for ages.

He meant with X & web browser and so on. The QNX disk had gui + browser and a few other gui apps.

  No I meant the base system. A system with X would take at least 20 floppies or so with Slackware 3. The whole setup was 80 floppies in total. I’m sure it’s better now, it wasn’t so when QNX had come out.

    Oh huh, I forgot about that. I guess I downloaded X after the base system was installed.

Linux was like that in 1995 (Slackware 3.1 or so). I believe QNX live was introduced in 1997.

  QNX was introduced in 1980.

    Yes, but the single-floppy live system with a desktop and a browser came much later. ;-)

    That’s why I said “QNX live”, not QNX.
