What is Damn Small Linux?
Damn Small Linux is a business card size (50MB) bootable Live CD Linux distribution. Despite its minuscule size it strives to have a functional and easy to use desktop.

Why?
Because having a working Linux desktop on a 50 mb bootable business card CD is just too cool not to do.

This might be able to do what you want.

I used to use Linux Router Project, an entire linux router on a floppy.  It would load into a RAM disk, and worked very well on a 486 with 32 meg of ram that I had lying around.  I imagine that if they're still around, they'd to the trick.
