Right, like it matters.
Any package suite for desktops usage (web browser, various editors, video
player...) totally DESTROYS the size of baseXX.
Well, breaking things up would be silly.
But let's actually look at this as a real space problem.
I had a concern about a flash drive having a hardware problem, so I
installed the same snapshot onto an old 1GB flash (I have smaller ones
too). Tight fit.

Looking at 8GB/16GB thumb-drives, sorted by price. Starts under $2.
Everybody keeps talking about how new hardware has so much space, just
buy this or buy that. How about telling that to the genius 9 year old
who has no allowance but there is some old crappy hardware sitting
around.
That's nice as a thought experiment. If he truely is a genius, he can figure
out how to get a decent flash.
I wouldn't trust any flash storage under 4GB, or a hard disk under 40
GB. Those devices would be so old that half the device would be bad
sectors.
