Right now, I think this is something you have to assemble yourself, if you
want something that can really be considered thin (<10MB). Trimming down
the kernel and X is relatively easy, Netscape is somewhat harder. You can
use ldd to see what Netscape is linked to. My 4.0x version reports:

If you can wait a bit longer, Mozilla seems to be firming up and the
source for that is available which means you have much more flexibility in
trimming it down.
