I'd be interested in the size you've got.  I was playing around and built
a MFS booting kernel, that had init, ifconfig, sh, and mount_nfs (500K MFS.)
Then on my NFS server, I had XF86_VGA16, libc.so, libm.so, libgnumalloc.so,
XF86Config, ldconfig.  That would get the whole thing running and in X.
The server was also running xfs (the font server) and xdm.  The whole
setup for the diskless unit was 2 megs on the server and the kernel was
1.2 megs.

Server: 486DX2/80 12 MB RAM
Client: 386DX/25 4 MB RAM (slowest 386 ever made, also has broken mathco)

If you want details let me know.
