Free what are floppy disk drives software for linux

Leka Rescue Floppy is a small Linux distribution that boots from an 1,44Mb floppy and runs from the system ram. Leka Rescue Floppy was designed to be a rescue floppy, but you can do MUCH more with it.
LINUX install:
1. cd to the directory where you downloaded the image
2. Insert a 1,44Mb floppy to your floppy drive
3. Type: dd if=leka-X.X.X.img of=/dev/fd0 (replace X.X.X with the version number)
Enhancements:
- Keymap selector rewritten
- New keymaps (20 total)
- ReiserFS support updated to 3.5.35 (incompatible with linux 2.4 reiserfs v3.6)
- cosmetic changes to add

Apple Disk Transfer ProDOS (or ADTPro for short) transfers diskettes and logical disk images between Apple ][-era computers and the modern world. If youre familiar with the original ADT, ADTPro extends ADTs reach by working with more logical disk formats, drive types, communications devices, and host operating systems.
Main features:
- Compatibility with any device ProDOS can read
- Compatibility with any Apple ][ (or clone) computer with 64k memory
- Compatibility with many logical disk image formats: .DSK, .PO, .NIB, 2IMG
- Server compatibility with original ADT client program
- Server compatibility with Windows, Mac OSX, Linux, and probably Solaris
- Ability to bootstrap an Apple ][ from bare metal over serial or cassette ports
- Ability to send floppies in "batch" mode without having to name each one
Server
The server program runs on a computer capable of running Java. Depending on how you want to connect to your Apple, you might also need a serial port and cables, an Uthernet card for your apple, or a couple of audio patch cables. The server offers a compact user interface that shows what communications are taking place between the host and the Apple ][.
The servers primary role is to send and receive disk images as requested from the client. But if you have recently acquired an Apple and a disk drive, and you have no software for it - youre in a bit of a tricky situation if you want to move software from the Internet all the way to your shiny new Apple. ADTPros server can help get you get bootstrapped.
Client
The client side runs on the Apple ][. It handles most of the user interaction. When choosing disks/volumes to transfer, anything that ProDOS can see is fair game. Transferring data occurs with a 20k buffer on the Apple, so all transfers are broken up into 20k chunks. A progress indicator shows how far it is into the current chunk, as well as a running count of the total progress.
Enhancements:
- This release has been enhanced with Jean-Marc Boutillon (Deckard)s FASTDSK fast Disk II reading routines.
- This results in a speed boost of 25%-33% for Disk II to host transfers.
- Bootstrapping operations have been reduced, as there is no longer a dependency on ProDOS BASIC.

Knopperdisk is a Linux distribution designed for a USB pen drive.

The USB version is more than just a rescue disk. Its based on Gentoo and contains various other programs/utilities such as network related tools (nmap, ettercap).

The floppy version is a so called rescue disk which is a compilation of uclibc and busybox among other utilities. It even has a ssh client provided by dropbear (congrats to the author) and some filesystem tools.

floppyfw project is a router with the advanced firewall-capabilities in Linux that fits on one single floppy disc.
Main features:
- Access lists, IP-masquerading (Network Address Translation), connection tracked packet filtering and (quite) advanced routing. Package for traffic shaping is also available.
- Requires only a 386sx or better with two network interface cards, a 1.44MB floppy drive and 12MByte of RAM ( for less than 12M and no FPU, use the 1.0 series, which will stay maintained. )
- Very simple packaging system. Is used for editors, PPP, VPN, traffic shaping and whatever comes up. (now this is looking even more like LRP (may it rest in peace) but floppyfw is not a fork.)
- Logging through klogd/syslogd, both local and remote.
- Serial support for console over serial port.
- DHCP server and DNS cache for internal networks.
It will get more features, but only if it is possible to cram it into the one, single diskette. More than one floppy is bloatware.
Enhancements:
- This release is uClibc based, and you can build it in a development environment yourself if you like.

GRUB Disk package contains a GRUB rescue disk.

It consists of a bootable 1.44 floppy image you can use to grab a rescue disk or be run in an i386 emulator, like Bochs.

GNU GRUB is a Multiboot boot loader. It was derived from GRUB,
GRand Unified Bootloader, which was originally designed and implemented by Erich Stefan Boleyn.

Briefly, boot loader is the first software program that runs when a computer starts. It is responsible for loading and transferring control to the operating system kernel software (such as the Hurd or the Linux). The kernel, in turn, initializes the rest of the operating system (e.g. GNU).

This is a play-thing, requested by a few people on the forum, and definitely not for the average user. In other words, Linux commandline nerds only! OneBone does not have any X GUI applications.

It does have Elinks web browser, Ytree file manager and MP text editor. The Lucent and SmartLink modem drivers are included. There are lots of text-mode applications out there and a very interesting flavour of Puppy could be created, based on this starting point.

Puppy Linux is an evolutionary operating system, based on GNU Linux. Whats different here is that Puppy is extraordinarily small, yet quite full featured. Puppy Linux can boot into a 64MB ramdisk, and thats it, the whole caboodle runs in RAM.

Unlike live CD distributions that have to keep pulling stuff off the CD, Puppy in its entirety loads into RAM. This means that all applications start in the blink of an eye and respond to user input instantly.

Puppy Linux has the ability to boot off a flash card or any USB memory device (flash-Puppy), CDROM (live-Puppy), Zip disk or LS/120/240 Superdisk (zippy-Puppy), floppy disks (floppy-Puppy), internal hard drive (hard-Puppy).

Super Grub Disk is a bootable floppy or CDROM that is oriented towards system rescue, specifically for repairing the booting process.

Super Grub Disk is simply a Grub Disk with a lot of useful menus. It can activate partitions, boot partitions, boot MBRs, boot your former OS (Linux or another one) by loading menu.lst from your hard disk, automatically restore Grub on your MBR, swap hard disks in the BIOS, and boot from any available disk device.

The ISO has multi-language support, and allows you to change the keyboard layout of your shell.

This version has Gpareted included.
