I'd like to turn an old 486 (32MB ram) to a file server accessable via

should contain some small daemons written by myself (e.g. disk health
monitor).

I know I can start from stage1-x86-uclibc, but I found another
interesting project, GNAP.  I have very little knowledge about GNAP, but
I believe if it suits my requirement, it will reduce my affort a lot.

So, can GNAP help me make such a embedded system?

Yes, I use GNAP with success on soekris boxes.
The 4501 is equivalaent to a 486-133 with 64Mb ram.
It takes about 5 mins to boot though.

It uses standard baselayout scripts, and they are very slow to execute.
