Hi, everybody

to get things clear. I know that Linux runs in less then 4MB.

My question was:

If we got only 8/16MB storage and execution space( on PDAs there is no HD,
maybe a CF, but that's not the point here), would Coda fit into it
additionally to the Linux dist.

Coda should only manage about 500k, not more. Would it be possible?

I don't know much about Coda. But could it help to remove Venus and
put the required stuff into the kernel ?
