Hy! I'm looking for a Unix-like o.s. (as linux) for low resources PC
X86 with the following features:

1. max 386 processor
2. max 4 MB of RAM (preferred 1 MB of RAM).
3. for real-time application
4. Ethernet support for TCP/IP, telnet and webserver
5. freeware and open-source

I found out ttylinux as QNX demo disk but I'd rather prefer smaller
solution.
Do u have further informations about it? Have u got some links?

Thanks in advance for ur replies.

1MB RAM won't be enough for run any linux.
BTW you forgot to say Disk size.

P.S. Please do not cross post

Good luck

Why not? It is better than multi-posting. The OP's main
problem was that s/he didn't set a follow-up.

I forgot to add a further constraints:
The OS must boot from one or (max) two 1.44 floppies, as the LiveCD of
Linux.

Thanks for your replies and your suggestions

Google on "Linux on a floppy", with the quotes.

LOAF requires a 386SX CPU (minimum), 4-8 megabytes of DRAM, and a floppy
drive
so does not suits him.
