  http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/ch-preparing.en.html#s-mmhr
states 50M for a standard server. As far as I know this includes base.
Are you sure you didn't miss something?

  Oops, forgot the l in the URL. This should have been html rather then
htm.

  Unlike dselect, apt-get might pull in `Suggest' without letting the 
user know that it is only suggested. Which is hardly suitable for a 
limited space installation. As for the packages to choose in dselect, 
just go for the most obvious apps you want. Hopefully 
Depends/Suggests/Recommends will do the rest.
