[aclug-L] Re: What are the best packages for a zip(239)all (from RH6.1)?

[John Goerzen <jgoerzen@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My guess is that you will not fit an entire system with KDE in 151M.
My suggestion:

 * Lightweight window manager.  Afterstep, perhaps.
 * No Gnome or KDE.  These can use up at least a third of that space.
 * Netscape, if you must.  If you don't need Java in Netscape, you can
   delete some of the jar files.
 * Basic networking utilities: ssh, ftp, telnet, etc.
