2.6.1-rc1-tiny1

Adding in 
- printk
- serial console support
- networking support ( Not IP networking)
- an eepro100 driver

takes it up to about 306K compressed.
With IPv4 support compiled it goes to about 396K compressed.

So the patches for 2.6 exist to make it usable.  And there
is still room for improvement.
