Yes, last night my FreeNAS did a first successful complete scan of my
"collection" (only a bunch of albums in a virtual machine). I'm trying
to get something up soon.

I'd still recommend 256MB. FreeNAS would happily run in 128MB (the
developers say 96MB). But SlimServer easily exceeds the 128-96=32MB.

The solution I'm aiming at won't be a modified FreeNAS, but rather an
extension to it. Slimserver will _not_ run from the flash image for
various reasons: 

- as the whole image is copied to a ram disk at startup, adding Perl
and SlimServer to the image would require some additional 40-60MB RAM

- no need for a custom image: let the FreeNAS developers do their work,
we do the slimserver stuff independently

- easier updating: no need to update the operating system if you want
to update slimserver (and vice versa) which brings along more
complicated maintenance (updating slimserver or FreeNAS)

You could still partition a 128MB CF card (or USB stick) and use the
first partition for the system, the second for SlimServer, and stock
all data on the harddisks. 

Stay tuned...
