I see there aren't a huge number of responses here. I've got some interest in this too. I'm intending to replace Vector3.2 with DSL-installed on a dual-boot 64MB P166MMX system, which is used for news, email, surfing, and CDR/CDRW writing. Thank goodness there's still a few surviving distros that will run Firefox in that little RAM. Most distros that started small have outgrown my britches by now.
I had a look at the LFS article. There aren't packet-writing patches for 2.4.26, but there are for 2.4.23.and 2.4.27. Based on READMEs in kernelsource.dsl, the kernel is vanilla (helpful when struggling to refit patches).
It would be a long slog to get it working at my own mediocre level of expertise and underwhelming hardware. But I might take a whack at it once 1.0 goes gold, after I figure out how to slide it onto the partition presently occupied by Vector, without upsetting the Win98 partitions or LILO.
