Check out SLAX (slax.org) and its modules.
" SLAX provides a feature called modularity. You can download modules from the
Internet and include them on your own CD to enhance your SLAX version
pursuant to your needs."
Slax is based on Slackware and weighs in under 200Mb. With Slax's copy2ram
option you'd be able to free up your CD/DVD drive.
SLAX has instructions on rolling your own version as well.
