Thanks Steve, nice one! I think a student introduced me to Linux when
I could boot to it off a floppy disk in about 1992/3, would that have
been possible or have I remembered it wrong? I was using Unix before
that.

It would certainly have been possible to boot Linux off a floppy disk. In
fact you can still do that if you have a machine with a floppy drive:
