If you keeping rming unneeded files you can fit X and blackbox in
128Mb - I only have manpages installed for binaries I have, etc, etc
but I had room for dillo at one point [ which stank :) ].

I now run links or mozilla from the server upstairs over a ssh X11
forward, works a treat.
I think /usr was 80Mb with X when I started, squeezed that down to 40-odd
with careful walloping of unneeded docs and binaries.
I stuck the kernel onto the DOS partition to save as much space as
possible too - it makes rebooting without going through wince painful,
but this box hardly ever reboots.

my mp800 had no trouble running X locally, I just chose mp800
in pbsdboot and then startx - no need for any other config.
GENERIC was OK, but I hacked that down to save space - I can send you
a kernel config if you want?

Apart from the battery life and the unusable function keys, it's pretty sweet.
Fast 256Mb CF cards are about for < 50 quid too these days, so I might
even upgrade it.....
