That should be sufficient - my current running kernel is 588123 bytes
(gzipped).

A hacked up Linux/MIPS 2.4.19-rc1 kernel, Linux/MIPS CVS snapshot from 
2002/09/07 plus some patches.

Unfortunately I have accidentally deleted the .config. It is based on
arch/mips/defconfig-cobalt, with just network support (tulip), IDE harddisk
