Small footprint?  So far, it appears you guys are talking about 
200-300mb.  That may seem small to people with 10gig harddrives, 
but it's way too big for my 486-33 with 170mb HD.  I reckon you 
should be aiming for a base installation of no bigger than 80mb 
(including X, wm and graphical browser).

Cheers,
Steven
