I don't know how small the mysql distro can be made but I'm guessing pretty 
small.  I see that the mysqld on my box runs about 1.4mb.  I have seen 
linux setups that can boot entirely from a floppy (so less than 1.44MB) at 
http://www2.linuxrouter.org:81/ , perhaps you may also be interested in that.
