Yep, I use one called DLX.  I can't remeber exactly where it is, but use
Altavista and search for DLX and Linux, your bound to find it.  It works by
storing a compressed ramdisk image, and there is also around 130k free on a
single 1.44 floppy I think.  This area is mounted as a loopback device.

Anyway's the docs tell you everything that needs to be done.  There are
versions on the Web page that are already to go, but the tools are provided
to make your own as well.

I was pretty impressed when a friend introduced it to me, so I hope it's
what your looking for.

Ben.
