Hmm... 25mb.  That sounds about right.  I wonder if an up-to-date 
Linux could be slimmed down to this size?  Afterall, Busybox has
managed to squeeze a huge amount of functionality into a small 
package by avoiding duplication and eliminating infrequently used
options.  Why couldn't the same thing be done for an entire
installation?
