I use FreeBSD for routers on 256mb flash cards.  There is so much room 
left over that apache and perl and other stuff can fit.  I build FreeBSD 
on a normal system using the following flags to make:

-DWITHOUT_HTML -DNO_EXAMPLES -DNO_ATM -DNO_AUTHPF -DNO_BLUETOOTH 
-DNO_CVS -DNO_DICT -DNO_FORTRAN -DNO_GAMES -DNO_GDB -DNO_GPIB -DNO_I4B 
-DNO_INET6 -DNO_INFO -D -DNO_LPR -DNO_MAILWRAPPER -DNO_MAN -DNO_NETCAT 
-DNO_OBJC -DNO_PROFILE -DNO_SENDMAIL -DNO_SHAREDOCS"

I also exclude many large kernel modules (eg. SCSI controllers).



Hope that helps.

- Andrew
