Netbooting and EXTON-Multiboot-9-iso+EXTIX

www.netbootme

The www.netboot.me is the tiniest iso I have downloaded. It was so tiny I did not want it to be written into a CD.
It can be loaded into a floppy disk or USB but that was also wasteful.
What I did was to download EXTON-multiboot-9-iso and boot it from that CD.
It is almost similar to a GRUB file and it boots up and give many options including rescue tool and even linux isos.
In few minutes I was downloading Tiny Linux (10 MiB) and testing it.
Visit the home of www.netboot.me and see for yourself the demonstration.

In my books, I have overlooked these tiny Linux isos and I have decided to write a book including all these little wonderful distributions.
It is long time due.
You may have to wait for few weeks.
If you do not wish to read a book but prefer hands on experience, then EXTON-mulitboot is for you.
Mind you, extix-x64gnome32 is a better option, if you have time to download.
It is coming from Sweden and a derivative of paldo Linux.
