It is doubtful that you will be able to install Openoffice and X Windows
into 300 megs. I think open office alone requires 150 megs. Also it
would barely be usable on a pentium 100 with 40 megs of ram.

Also if you have so little free space I recommend you make one large /
partition instead of dividing it in this way. Right now you might not be
able to install large pieces of software because they get downloaded
into /var which in your setup is part of /.

I have also used a Debian system with a dial-up connection. I recommend
you get a set of Debian CDs it will really save you lots of time,
especially if you ever have to reinstall your system.
