One floppy. This is the smallest one I know of:

Not a Debian, but based on and built using Debian.
Actively maintained and developed.

$ df -h

That includes 2MB of logs :)

The box is a AMD 586-clone with 16MB of mem. It's a VPN

Here's the _full_ list of installed packages -- note it
even includes python and ntp :)

That might be exactly what I want to do (for a different purpose).

What's the smallest someone on the list has installed, and what's the 
easiest way to go about doing it?

I'd like to have a small Linux partition on a dos \ Windows disk to 
include a bootloader (lilo) and some utilities for partitioning, 
formatting, and making and restoring disk images.

I started working with a Vector root / boot set and have made progress, 
but I have a lot to learn and many problems remain -- if there is an 
easier way I'd like to try it.
