  Linux is known to _work_ on SOHO MIPS boxes, with 4MiB of flash and
 16MiB of RAM. You could say about ``loaded kernel modules,'' but when
 whole firmware, with all needed utils, like PPPoE client, Web-based
 UI, DHCP server, etc, is only 3.5MiB (Ok, it is compressed, but
 anyway it should work on 16MiB of RAM), it looks like functional
 Linux kernel could be about 1MiB without any modules.
