Salvare (from the Latin "to rescue") is a small Linux distribution designed for small, credit-card sized CDs which typically hold around 34MB.

Here are some key features of "Salvare":

· Bootable CD-ROM (BIOS permitting)
· Simple boot floppy [NB: in progress]
· Network boot using a Salvare boot floppy [NB: in progress]
· Network boot using PXE and another machine running Salvare [NB: planned]
It features:

· Links 2 text & graphical web browser supporting JavaScript, HTTPS and mouse control
