Small Linux distribution fit for my friends?

[Michael Hicks <hick0088@tc.umn.edu>]

I have several friends that need to use the U of M's UNIX labs for their
homework.  I highly doubt that any of them like to use the labs (since
they would often have to be their for hours at a time).  I've looked at
setting up X-Windows on some systems, but the free Win32 offerings are
just not very good...  Would it be possible for me to create a Linux
distro that can fit in <100MB and still include these features? :

	X-Windows
	C development (probably only rudimentary..)
	Scheme (The U uses scheme as a teaching language...)
	Printing services (we gotta print out that homework, ya know..)
	Network utilities (hmm.. is the router to the lab down?)
	FTP client/daemon (transferring files back and forth to these
machines..)
	Netscape (okay, not necessary, but it'd be nice..)

I've made a quick glance at ZipSlack -- a ~35MB Slackware distribution
without(?) X-Windows that can exist in a UMSDOS filesystem on a Zip Disk
or hard drive.

This looks to me like it would be a fairly good starting point
(although, I have to admit I think I'd rather deal with a RedHat-based
system...  These guys would probably have much more luck with RPMs than
.tar.gz files...  OTOH, they probably won't install _anything_)

Has anyone out here tried ZipSlack, or any UMSDOS-based Linux, for that
matter?  

Thanks...
