Not that I know of.

Slackware and BL2 have installpkg and removepkg, and keep a list of what 
files were installed where.  Steven could probably write a script using
tar and rm but I don't know how.

I set up BL3 in 100MB with lots of useful programs.  Keeping lists of 
every file installed uses up more space.  Zip drives are 100MB - you can 
boot to them from a boot floppy with iomega drivers.  I can also run BL 
from a camera memory card, using a 1-floppy version of it which includes 
USB drivers, and view photos (bypassing whatever OS is on the computer).
