Thank you all. It looks like the minimum space I needed to 
install was about 110MB. This was only the kernel, base and 
etc sets. After install it occupied almost 80MB.
It looks like there is alot of stuff I don't need, I'm 
hoping I can free up quite a bit more space.

It seems to run fine (except for the 'vrpiu:AD:......' 
messages) so I'll probably order a 256MB CF card and return 
the 128MB one I borrowed.

thanks,
ken
