4MLinux-AllinOne-2.2

4MLinux-AllinOne-2.2

This is a seies of Mini CDs from 30 to 50 MiB and All in One incorporate includes everything in one image of 50 MIB.
This is another example of Linux which illustrates what a lot can be packaged in 50 MiB with some compression (there are many in Linux) utility.

4M stands for 
1. Maintenace (Rescue a operating system and hard disk)
2. Play Multimedia
3. Serves as a Miniserver
4. Mystery means games

It boots live and once booted up lets you change the root password in the first instance with its shell, which is an excellent way of dealing with the guest account.
I had to gues after several booting and there are no instructiuon how to boot it.
I visited there home but was not helpful.
This is another classic mistake developers make.
Forget to include a mini text file with mini instructions. Bigger version forget to include a flash image with instruction and this time round PCLinux make a clear boot flash at the beginning.
Of course PCLinux is one distribution, from the very beginning got this part of the booting booting process right from Big Daddy stage.
This is again a Slackware based and I am not very familiar with Slackware except Salix.
