Maybe try the 'tiny' kernel patchset available from http://www.selenic.com/tiny/ according to the claims of its author, a kernel patched with this can be run with 4 megs of memory. If you build a custom FAI kernel: take out all the network card drivers you know you won't need; this will save a lot of memory. -- c u henning
