For most people, they can do a single user install with a kernel that
was installed using 'make installkernel -DNO_MODULES' (assuming that
does what I think it will do). You generally don't need modules to do
the install, which really cuts down the amount of space you'd need in
/ by 15M. You'd need only 10M free to do the install if /tmp isn't on
a free partition, or about 5M if it isn't.
