	I think this 55 Mb. partition leaves you with 10 Mb free.  You then
	need a swap space partition (+/- 20 Mb) and esch (3 Mb), and
	partition for users (if you don't want to put them in the
	root partition) (??? Mb).  For X11 installation, the doc
	says you need 12 Mb. free.  

	Hope I didn't mislead anyboy with the "all this stuff".
