At the very minimum, you'll need all the files from the bin directory.
I would also recommend getting all the files from the manpages and
info directories, and the ssys.* files from src.  Plus of course all
the *.TXT files!

Apart from that, you can put whatever other distributions you like - 
for instance, if you want to run, you'll need some of the files in
XF86312.
