I have no idea how much you might gain by killing all I haven't killed the network stuff, but I got a system (w/out X) tweaked down a bit to run on an 80mb drive. After I started nuking things, I realized it would be a good idea to keep a list of what I deleted so I could re-create the system when I chose. It's a partial list, but it should get you started. It leaves the networking stuff in -- I'm using it as a router -- and there's probably a bunch o' stuff I deleted without putting in there, but you're welcome to it as a starting point. -Dave Andersen -- angio@aros.net Complete virtual hosting and business-oriented system administration Internet services.
