Why not try something like Pebble linux from http://www.nycwireless.net/pebble
It is a stripped down Debian install that is aimed at
running a wireless hotspot but it is just Debian and you can install whatever
you want. It fits on a 64MB flash card but if you install almost anything you
will want a 128MB one. It does come with iptables and iproute2 tools as I
recall.

Subject: small kernel distro recommendations for QoS box
Hello All.
I've built some boxes for QoS that work wonderfully. Much thanks to everyone's work on this project. Citrix + Videoconferencing are working great.
Thing is, I'd really like to not rely on the old 4GB drives in these machines. I would like to build a kernel small enough to put on a 32 or 64 MB flash (compressed). Fedora Core 1, minimal install + bridge-utils is still around 500 MB (will probably be about 1/3 that compressed).
TIA
-Ron
