How are you booting?
The smallest commercial boot kernel I have read about is Nitix Linux at 16 MB.
What do you use for swap?
What do you use for Storage?
NAS?
SAN?
Other?

I am very interested in diskless environments. I am looking for
someone who is willing to share their experience using something other
than a disk to boot and swap. Such as CF (Compact Flash) to boot and
possibly for swap. External boot and swap information would be
appreciated.

Thanks,

Robert
