I've put a little time into generating a hyper small footprint linaro headless image. From UDS the two sizes to try and fit into as I understand are 64M and 128M installed. So with that in mind, via live helper I created a headless image where none of the recommended packages were installed. This brings the installed size of the root fs down to 165Meg installed (excluding hwpacks)
I've had a few conversations at Plumbers Conf about the new "yocto" project of the Linux Foundation. I think going to the really small sizes (certainly below 64 MB), it would be much easier to build on this than the Ubuntu archive. The yocto folks are very interested in using the Linaro kernel and tool chain to build their images for ARM, at least as one of the options.
Having a yocto-headless image below a nano-headless image seems to also fit in with the naming ;-)
