You will definitely need a modified kernel, because the WRAP seems to have
a 486 CPU. Besides that it depends a lot on the size of the CompactFlash
cards that you are planning to use. It is possible to make a fairly
minimal CentOS installation by picking packages by hand, though IIRC a
minimal system is around 100MB compressed.

With lower-end hardware it is usually easier to go with a custom Busybox
setup. Busybox is small, and quite easy to set up.
