There is also SLAX (http://slax.linux-live.org) which is slackware based 
and is already designed to work on the small CD's. It also has 
instructions on how to make your own version of it so it should be quite 
easy to drop some of the unneeded packages and add any other necessary 
ones to keep the size small. Also, the scripts used to make it can 
apparently be used on any distro so is worth a look just on that basis.
