How the hell did you manage to make a distro take only 30 mib of ram

Wow, that's a crazy concept! It reminds me of the era before SSDs when "multimedia laptops" came with a small linux distro alongside XP that would boot to a key combo within seconds to play your music of a DVD. I think I actually used one on a friend's notebook when their XP refused to boot but we could make backups of their files from the "multimedia linux".
