Perhaps I'll make a MINIGENERIC kernel without some extraneous items like NFS, etc. I can attest that 3.3 can be made to install with 8MB, albeit with some work. I've got a machine with only 8MB that can't be upgraded or replaced. It took some work to get it 3.3 to install (I think I ended up using a different installation method than I originally planned, but I forgot to document it). Anyway, I'll probably bring it to 4.0 after its release, and I'll try to document whatever I do to make it happen.
