I see. In this case, I would probably try to get a bigger hard
disk. Anything from 500M bytes up should be sufficient. Myself,
I have FreeBSD (although 2.2.8) on a Thinkpad with an 800M bytes
hard disk. Even with X11 and monsters like Netscape installed,
it still has enough space left to be useful.

Something like a 1000M bytes notebook HDD should not cost much
(if anything at all) nowadays, so you would probably save a lot
of time by just replacing the drive. OTOH, the hack value of a
non-X11 solution is bigger, no doubt.

Nils.
