Linux would run in much less than this (4Mb less, to be exact, and about
1/50th the disk space) but it would be pretty useless. Check out the LRP
(Linux Router Project, not lead replacement petrol). They provide all the
software you need to make a diskless (ie, floppy boot) router, or
something more snazzy.

Can't remember the URL, and my connections gone all funny. When you
finally get this, I may have found it...
