- Delete I don't quite the see the notability of an operating system that uses an obsolete drive storage technology. Also, every version of Linux can be booted from a disk, since Linux is the kernel. Anyone crafty enough can boot just about any operating system from floppy disk anyway, if you img it right. Oh, and almost all older consumer type OS's will since that was the only way to install it, or that was the only disk storage on the device. Now we can argue if it only counts if it was issued as floppies like Windows 95 was initially (but not 95b), or if it can be hacked to boot on floppies like Windows 98, but only if this can be sourced, except the problem is the sources are forums and blogs, but to be fair that is how techincal stuff is figured out, and holy cow, I already need a tylenol.

- Delete - a bunch of listcruft. Each OS that has a boot disk should have information about the boot disk on its own page, but this is simply listcruft DavidWS (contribs) 21:23, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Pretty much any OS is bootable from disk. I simply don't see the use of a list like this one. - Mgm|(talk) 00:57, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
