16 MB is a tight constraint?

Some of the "embedded" linux systems I've had exposure to[1] can get a
graphical environment (not X) up in only 2 mb of flash, leaving 14 MB in
which to implement some kind of web browser.

I've seen others[2] that use a web browser written for the frame buffer
console.

Heck, 16MB of flash is around 20 to 30 MB of space, if you compress
the filesystem. I can almost fit a base Debian install in that!
