I think I sent a message to the list some time back about a special "tiny"
version of the 2.6.x kernel.  Steven mentioned it onlist again recently, I
believe.  I ran across the project again today - actually a series of
patches designed to minimize the kernel's footprint, aimed at embedded
devices.  I see they're continuing their work, having a set of patches for
a pretty recent release (2.6.2).  Anyway, here's a link for the download
site for the patches, in case it's of interest:
http://www.selenic.com/tiny .  Steven: one of the things I might be able
to squeeze into my schedule on behalf of BL3 development (apart from
testing it on that 386 we've been discussing) is compiling a 2.6 tiny
kernel.  I have a fair amount of excess disk space and a somewhat modern
machine (1Ghz Celeron) on which I could do it.  I'd probably need some
guidance and might not be very good at meeting deadlines, though.  Let me
know if that would be any help.
