I'm looking for some small Linux utilities. Everything I am finding is
in the range of 3-20 Megs.
Yikes. I realize that this is the "age of bloat", but isn't there
anything smaller?
I presume you mean Linux utilities that work under DOS. You may be able
to get individual utilities by Googling, which wont run into much.
There's DJGPP:

You can download stuff individually.
It sounds like you want quite a few utilities though, so you're probably
not going to have much choice except to gird your loins and prepare for
some hefty downloads.
You could try MinGW (which tries to be minimalist):

or cygwin (which isn't minimalist, but is more POSIXy):

A very nice collection of UNIXy stuff is available at:

You can order a CD from them if you don't like the prospect of
downloading. It's also available from places like UseLinux:

Sure you have to pay for the CDs, but the prices are modest, and if you
want to save yourself hassle, I don't think they're a bad deal.
Alternatively, if you want to ditch the whole steenkin Microsoft caper,
you could just install Linux. Ubuntu will even ship CDs to you, free of
charge. How's that for value!
