Ok. What does it say when sizing available memory chunks (in both cases)i
right after uncompressing the kernel? Perhaps also booting with -v would
help.
It also might be that he did everything on one console (less processes
running), run ppp in background and moved very carefully all the time,
etc...
Anyway, I must admit it surprises me a bit :-) I thought it would take
significant amount of hacking to achieve this, and it seems we're that
close -><-. I put much hope in writing custom init(8), and getting rid of
the shell - instead writing specialized UI. This could fly in 4MB...
