The problem with many of these special purpose distros is that they are
usually poorly maintained wrt updates. A minimal install of a mainstream
distro like CentOS shouldn't take up much more than a GB, and if you put
in some effort to strip out excess packages even half of that. DSL is
really more of a distro to put on embedded hardware.

Regards,
Leonard.
