RUNT is a fascinating and quite niche Linux distribution! It’s a throwback to a time when USB booting was less common and Slackware was a popular choice. Its focus on running entirely from a 128MB USB drive, combined with a boot floppy and a clever UMSDOS filesystem, makes it a really unique testing tool. The inclusion of Memtest86 is a nice bonus, and the overall design speaks to a very specific need – creating a portable, functional Linux environment for USB storage diagnostics. It’s a great example of ingenuity and a testament to the possibilities of early USB booting.
