Check out the "distributions" list at www.linux.org. It is one of the
tabs/buttoms in the left-hand frame. 

Even better is ZipSlack....which fits onto a 100MB ZIP disk. I have two
internal, IDE ZIP drives and they come in very handy for booting a
usable version of Linux from a ZIP floppy. 

You will have to use older kernels as the newer ones tend to be too
large for the typical 1.44MB floppy disk (kernel +
other-files-2-be-usable ='s outta space)
