I do believe you will never be able to run KDE or Gnome Any ver in 16 megs. You might want to look at the Peanut distro and a few other distros that feature "lightweight" WMs. But frankly, unless you do CL I believe you're SOL. Pardon my heresy but w/16 megs I believe W95 is going to be your best deal re: a gui desktop.
Let us know if your discover otherwise.
