Your cable modem connects to the computer via ethernet, right?
As long as the ethernet card is supported (read, damn near anything)
it should work fine.

Looking at a recent install, it has 28M used in the / filesystem
and 320M in /usr.  That's with kernel source and XFree86 installed.
Subtracting the 110M I have in my home directory looks like 238M
total for a failry complete installation.
