It's just plain Linux, except that the keyboard mapping is to Portugese.
I have the package in my BBS with a README.1ST that helps you remove
the mapping. Besides that, I think it's English (although I haven't
checked that much).

Well, I don't know, but I'll tell you this - MiniLinux is just a PLAIN
Linux distribution that includes key features, and uses UMSDOS (and
LOADLIN to boot). If UMSDOS can run under a compressed partition -
I don't know, but my guess would be NO (since they're DOS things).
