That completely depends on the application. Currently a minimal system
is fairly large (~400-~500MB IIRC). This may be OK for some embedded
devices, and one or two orders of magnitude too large for other
embedded devices.

If you need something much smaller (or a non-supported platform like
ARM), I'd suggest looking at Busybox or a BSD operating system.
