I would not think so. At this point the smallest USEFUL and PRACTICAL
install I have managed is about 390MB in total. I have not tried to really
shred the OS down to just the minimum necessary to boot, so I would guess
that 300MB or even (maybe) 256MB could conceptually be achievable, but I
cannot imagine there being anything left with which to do useful work.
Still, do let me know if you manage it, since I keep looking for ways to
make the install smaller and more secure.
Have you looked at the RULE project (http://www.rule-project.org) as a
better choice? If not, perhaps Trustix would serve your needs, since I
believe its smallest install is about 90MB.
