I did this with 2.0.  I can check later to see what I put on it, but what I
did was take the 2.0 boot disk, replace the kernel with a smaller one tailored
to my hardware and include basic utilities.  I had ifconfig, route, slattach,
init, sh, and a little program I threw together to talk to the modem.  Of
course, ppp might put you over the limit ;-)  The machine was a 16MHz 386
original Tandy 4000 w/4M RAM (though I think it also ran in 2M).  With
16550-equipped serial ports, it ran like a champ.
