The ELKS project is no longer really concerned with making Linux embedded. It's main goal is to create a small and efficient version of Linux to run on processors before the Intel i386. Depending on what you want to do with and embedded OS, you can put Linux in a small amount of space, with some examples being HAL(the url escapes me), which is a single disk version of Linux designed for rescuing systems, although it is adaptable, to the Linux Router Project (http://www.linux-router.org) which is designed for using Linux as a, well, router :) Linc.
