Take a look at Paul Gortmaker's "Memory Savers" pages:

  http://rsphy1.anu.edu.au/~gpg109/mem.html#ksw

Also, you might apply the knowledge from these pages to the
MCC-1.0+ distributions.

The following kernel data is from such a combination:
-rw-------   1 root     root    207364 Jun 26  1996 zImage-lite-new
-rw-------   1 root     root    215556 Aug 24  1996 zImage-qic02
-rw-------   1 root     root    199172 Mar  7  1996 zImage-serial

If kernel 1.0 supports your hardware then I would recommend using it.
I've been running this setup for 3 years on the Inet, very stable.
I call this system Linux-lite for obvious reasons.
