Follow-up to my earlier, longer response ...
I just looked at the 486/40 I have a minimal Slackware (3.9) running on. It
takes up 103 megs of disk space (not counting swap), and of that:
25 megs is the Netscape package itself
25 megs is the /usr/X11R6 directory, containing what
Slackware thinks is the minimal X install (though
I suspect a leaner install could dispense with a lot
of it)
about 10 megs is things like man pages, doc files, and
internationalization files that could probably be
removed (except for the couple of localization files
actually used)
