Hi,

I have a powerbook with a 160meg disk.  My root partition is
150meg or so and I have 37meg in my home directory and
almost 9 meg free.  It runs fine and I use it every day 
(right now as I type).

I did not install the man pages.  I did install the compilers but
removed some of the backends  (like I don't think I can do
fortran code right now).  I use ratpoison rather than twm 
as my window manager.  Since I don't use many X
apps I removed some of them.  It took a bit of poking but
in the end it works well.

cheers

bruce
