As a possible guide to a minimum Linux system, consider
tomsrtbt-1.6.335. I use it as my emergency disk, and I believe that it
has everything you mentioned, except ax25utils. Instructions are included
for how to add or modify the configuration.
Please let me know what you find, since this may be of interest
to emergency response teams.
