Well, then, you still would want pretty much the full development environment.
The help files are awfully important, and they take up a huge amount of room.
The C compiler and libraries are pretty big packages, too. And, although
you can do work in the plain console environment, the X environment is a
major aid in all sorts of ways. I don't think you can get all this to load in
a 350 MB disk, with swap space and some left over for you to work in.
