Are there any other distros that are easy to configure, run on a P166 with 80MB RAM at a pleasant speed, can be booted by floppy as my 380ED wont boot from CD and have good wireless capabilities. A light window manager like fluxbox or icewm would be preffered over gnome or KDE.

I can't remember whether anyone mentioned this when you were working on this eariler, but have you tried Debian?

You can boot the installation from floppies: http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/ch04s03.html.en http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/ch05s01.html.en#floppy-boot

and then pick only the packages you want to get your minimal system running. It includes Xfce and various other light-weight window managers and you get a choice of kernels. You can install over the network (from floppies) or from CDs (with floppies).
