Boy things have
changed. When I first got into Linux, I ran it on a 40 MB
MFM drive and had lots of space to spare. Of course that was no TCP/IP and
certainly no GUI crap, and it didn't even have vi. But it might be a fun
exercise to put together a similarly minimal config from the latest sources,
it would probably still fit in a couple of cylinders of a modern disk drive.
I dunno. Seems like whenever I try to build a minimal kernel these days, LILO
tells me it's too big. Of course, it has been some time since I built
one without
networking...
