It just wasn't enough, I was running near 90-97% full on my / partition. Not good I've learned for file fragmentation. Now, I've compressed that damn Windoze stuff, and I have a comfy 450Meg with x windows, and all of the packages I've been dying to try. I've even tried wine with xwindows and am quite impressed with its abilities. I don't think I'd try xwin with less than say 300, 400 is better and of course, (if your budget allows)700 or more would probably do a single user machine for some time. Hope this helps.
