In your situation, I would have 21MB swap (to give you just fractionally
more swap than you have RAM), and not bother splitting the other
partitions up - ie just have a / partition and a swap partition. On such
a disk space constrained system, the loss of useable space introduced by
splitting the partitions up is a major PITA.
You might be able to get XFree86 up on this machine with some surgery, but
I'd advise not even thinking about Netscape or any other X based browser -
they just demand to much disk space and memory.
