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 :)
