I don't know about 2.2.1, but for a while I had 2.1.6 running on a 100 MB
partition.  let's see;
24MB swap.
the rest mounted on / (didn't have space to seperate like I should)
bin, manpages, doc, info, games.
XFree86 3.2; had the base plus the 100 dpi fonts and the font server.

granted, by the time I was done I had about 800 K free, but I don't see
that you'd have too much trouble with 420 megs.
What all did you install, distribution-wise?
