So a bit over 1.5MB. I must admit, while the prospect of a super-small dom0 is quite appealing, using a ramdisk just hasn't proved to be all that useful.

The thing that always comes back to bite me too is that I cannot get X to start in a domU. If I could get that to work it might be practical.

I guess this is more interesting when running a bunch of headless nodes. How little memory can your dom0 survive on?
