You can also boot into a livecd of any number of different unix's on
your PC and not have to install anything.

You are posting from a search engine named google. Did you think to
try using it and searching for a free shell account? Another little
clue - the web is a service on the intenet, one of hundreds. The world
does not begin or end in some web browser.

Do you have access to a working 1.44 floppy (90 mm) drive?

Title: tomsrtbt
Version: 2.0.103
Entered-date: 04MAY02
Description: "The most GNU/Linux on one floppy." (Distribution/panic disk).
1.72MB boot/root rescue/tools diskette for your shirt pockets.
Supports ide, scsi, tape, network adaptors, PCMCIA, much more.
About 100 utility programs and tools for fixing and restoring.
See tomsrtbt.FAQ for a list of stuff that is included. Not a
script, just the diskette image packed up chock full of stuff.
Easy to customize startup and scripts for complete rebuilding.
Also good as learn-unix-on-a-floppy as it has mostly what you
expect- vi, , lua, sed, sh, manpages- loaded on ramdisks.
One installer runs under GNU/Linux, another in DOS, one to CD.

As you seem to be using windoze, you want the 'dos.zip' file which can
be found on hundreds of sunsite mirrors around the world. The result
of using it is a severely overstuffed floppy with a working Linux.
There are also floopy versions of FreeBSD available.
