Lu,
Since you have only 2GB of storage space let me suggest two things:
1. You might want to try to use scripts from livemedia:
http://opensolaris.org/os/project/livemedia/
Those scripts prepares *.iso to put on the DVD and also can install
Solaris onto usb stick. A little modification will give your own set of
packages, which is compressed, which will definatelly fit on the 2GB
storage.
2. Compressed ZFS filesystem. I am not sure if it is possible to
compress root ZFS, but always you can have compressed /usr /opt which
gives you additional space.
