I don't really like things that are very, very big, but I found a relatively small kernel, very small, very small, pretty good. Even with a shell added, it's still under 30M. I've only read the description, though. Seems pretty good, but I haven't tried it.

Somehow somewhere I've got to choose.
No matter if it is win or lose.

It's on the Enet website. The kernel is version 4.0, under 5M.

Still nowhere near as small as the DOS kernel...

But the stability is not the same.

About the same, in my personal experience MSDOS7+KILLER is a bit more stable than LINUXKRNL 2.4.10

This kind of comparison has no value. One is multi-user and multitasking, while the other is single-user and single-tasking, so DOS has a huge advantage when comparing stability, or you could say stability isn't really much of an issue for DOS in the first place.
As for kernel size, that is also affected by functionality. DOS is naturally very weak in networking; DOS only includes a few general drivers, while UNIX-like systems usually put drivers into the kernel (that's what I've heard ^_^) so naturally the kernel will be larger, but hardware utilization is better. The same goes for file systems: LINUX supports many kinds of file systems, while DOS only supports a few of MS's. If you add those functions to DOS and then compare size, only then can you say the comparison is being made on the same level.
Actually both systems have their own strengths, or rather, they just can't be directly compared.
