  Yggdrasil was last released circa 1995.  It did work.  I didn't use
it much myself, so I don't recall much more than that.  I'm pretty it
had an IP stack.

  I believe it advertised the ability to boot from CD, detect
hardware, and start a running system, all without installing to HD --
what we today call a "Live CD".  The more things change...
