Have a look at "SELF" (our Simple Embedded  Linux  Framework");  it's
based  on Busybox, provides a lot of tools including remote access to
your target using FTP and telnet and fits in <840 kB of flash (kernel
not included).

You can get it even smaller when you "optimize" your  libs  (see  the
running thread).

Hope it helps.

Umm, yes, before I forget it: you find SELF in
ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/LinuxPPC/usr/src/SELF/
There is even a short README ;-)

Hope it helps,

You could end up being oddly sad and full of a strange, diffuse  com-
passion  which would lead you to believe that it might be a good idea
to wipe out the whole human race and start again with amoebas.
