That will become a bit more difficult. I don't have any exact numbers, but I estimate that glibc 2.2.x will take around 225-250 kb more diskspace than glibc 2.0.7. That why I've been mentioning uClibc for the last few months. Unfortunately not all programs will compile out-of-the-tarball with uClibc, but I think enough programs do to build a decent base system for leaf. For some extra programs glibc will still be needed, but much of that fancy stuff probably won't fit on a floppy anyway.
