At some point I had lrp/cish running with a 2.2 kernel on a 486 with 4MB
and no harddrive. Admittedly, opening more than two remote shells got the
beast in imminent swapping limbo (nothing in there to swap to but
/dev/null) but don't underestimate how much you can stuff in 8MB if you
don't mind getting rid of normally Divine Unix Constructs like /bin/init
and inetd :)
Cheers,
