I would probably only load bin, manpages, and X, with maybe doc. Use a 32M root, a 32M swap, 16M for var, and the rest for usr. Once you see how the machine runs and what space you have left, then load up extras to suit. Run the machine command line, except for when you need to run X, and it should probably be OK for a webscraper machine. If you want to run compiles, opt for another disk to put the user home files on. Disks 500M and smaller are pretty common in surplus for almost nothing. Even 100M more for the user home file system is going to give you a fair amount of play space. Good Luck....
