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.
