There's always TinyCore Linux.

  Most of the size is caused by the Linux kernel and the firmware, so recommending another Linux Distribution wont help here.

    Depends on the distro. Changing compilers or compiler flags and any dependent base libraries has a big impact on kernel size, and distros can tune kernel configs for size. Fitting Linux on a floppy back in the day was about 80% tuning the kernel, and then playing with BusyBox size and finally things like compression or even repacking objects to align better. (It also helped if you had a floppy that could cheat it's way up to 1.68MB, a little known hack that traded reliability for space)

  Still only 12MB!
