Well, linux-tiny does do better, but so far it seems to have too many bugs in 2.6.14 for serious work. Many config setting I tried give compile errors, which seem to be related to unenforced dependencies, and even when I can get it to compile I have never had it actually work, erroring out in the boot process with "bad gzip magic number". But I have gotten unpatched 2.6.14 to work, with kexec, and successfully jumped into knoppix from a single floppy boot with all the tools I need. Thanks for the help, right now the -Os compile switch gets me there, and I will keep monitoring linux-tiny for additional progress.
