I can't remember the URL you might get it from www.net-inter-net.com
or www.sherdwood-data.co.uk (something like www.jcrp.co.uk) but they
have put Linux AND Samba into a 8MB FlashROM, and the thing works with
tiny ammounts of memory ... it's based on 'standard' Linux which they've
tweaked severely.
