You will definitely need a modified kernel, because the WRAP seems to have a 486 CPU. Besides that it depends a lot on the size of the CompactFlash cards that you are planning to use. It is possible to make a fairly minimal CentOS installation by picking packages by hand, though IIRC a minimal system is around 100MB compressed.
With lower-end hardware it is usually easier to go with a custom Busybox setup. Busybox is small, and quite easy to set up.
