Damn Small Linux (DSL) is Debian based, and much smaller.

Yep, second to that. DSL has saved my day when I need a Linux Live system.
However, it also has it drawbacks. Check the details at
http://xpt.sourceforge.net/techdocs/nix/live/dsl/

Also on the site you can find my recommended Linux Live system -- the true
Live-CD pioneer with unparalleled leading technology and vision. You might
not agree with what I've picked, but you can also check

Various Debian (Live) CD Systems
http://xpt.sourceforge.net/techdocs/nix/live/debian-cd/

Believe me, searching for the perfect Linux Live system has been my "life
long" journey. Before Knoppix even exist, I custom built RedHat, shrinking
its installation disks from 3 to 1, and only contains my picked packages
list,

RedHat Distro Customization
http://xpt.sourceforge.net/techdocs/nix/distro/redhat/

Its installation does not require human intervention. So whenever I
need a Linux system, I was able to have a system ready within 10~15
minutes, which contains the very tools that I want. This is the most
important thing to me. Some other Debian Live Systems, eg, grml, can be
installed on HD within 6~8 minutes or so, but how long will it take to
further tune the installed System to your taste?
