Linux minimal distribution for older pcs


Hello there, Can anyone help me out?

I am searching for a Linux Distribution that is capable of:
* can be installed on older pcs like 486, pentium I, etc;
* minimal installation, the size of the whole system must be at most 200MB;
* no X system, I do not need the graphical interface;
* ssh and http servers;
* easy to install, or at least no hard to configure;
* linux rpm atualization and configuration;

You can contact me at pedrohp@gmail.com

Well, that's it, thanks for now.
Att, pedrohp.

Sounds to me like the answer is do the base LFS install, then install ssh and apache with the bare minimum required dependencies from BLFS
