   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.
