This is cool. My first into to a practical application of Linux in the early 2000s was using Damn Small Linux to recover files off of cooked Windows Machines. I looked up the project the other day while reminiscing and thought it would be interesting if someone took a real shot at reviving the spirit of the project.

Damn Small Linux was the second Linux I tried (after the free CD promotion that Ubuntu did). I liked it and it was fun to play with, but I was such a newbie that I wasn't able to really use it for anything.

It's 20 years later and I've been running Linux for most of that time, so I probably would have even more fun revisiting DSL and Tiny Core Linux.
