No. The current Linux is fine in 4Mb. The distribution installers with all
their GUI garbage frequently require more. If you are trying to build
a distribution on a small box I'd suggest you borrow a Debian CD from
someone. Right now its the only major dist I know that will install sensibly
in 4/8Mb
