... on a marginally related question ...

Once upon a time, I could get a fair bit of functionality onto a single
single floppy, making it practical to build radio routers/terminals without
harddrives and minimal (< 8MB) RAM. When I looked at updating the cramdisks
I've been using, I was stumped by the considerable increase in the size of
the kernel generally and libc in particular ... going from an older libc5
to glibc seems to need 5-6 times the memory !

Any ideas on getting the current kernels and utils down in size ?
