Why does he need 10GB?  The aforementioned Damn Small
Linux fits into 50MB.  With all the extensions we are
talking a few hundred MB.  Vector Linux is another
relatively lightweight distro that fits neatly onto a
single CD.  My ancient Toshiba Libretto SS1010 has
only a 2.1GB hard drive and it is running Fedora Core
3 just fine.  I don't install the kitchen sink, just
what I need.

Many, many, many such things, including Knoppix, Damn
Small Linux, Feather Linux, Mandrake Move, Gentoo Live
CD, etc...  Running from CD and RAM can be quite slow,
though.
