 Take a look at the CentOS-5.2 LiveCD - thats a good place to start, Can
 you work with that ? Its got a fully functional gnome desktop with a lot
 of other things that you can get rid of if you dont need. I've seen
 usable CentOS + Gnome desktops running from a 480MB squashfs store.
 
 

The key here would be to do something in a compressed system like
squashfs ... then you can do 2-3 GB of stuff in 500MB.  However, there
is going to be some performance hit in doing that.  You can't get a 100
pounds of sugar in a 10 pound sack :D
