Most certainly it's not going to be a "select A and B, omit C" type of configuration process. I managed to run quite a few well-behaving programs in 3MB, but it required careful analysis of resource consumption and/or application management. Also, I had to make some adjustments on a source level of kernel code (mainly to get rid of unneeded parts). I also recently received a report that the standard "router" type of floppy can run in 2MB RAM. Of course all these numbers are _without_ using swap, but I assume that's your case as well...
