Actually, 30 MB of the required 100 MB for ODT is taken up
by ODT-DATA (Ingres).  If you can live without Ingres, you 
can have at least 30 MB of user files.

Actually, if you can live without Ingres *and* networking,
(tcp-ip & nfs), you can save another 7 MB.  Here's the 
breakdown from the ODT release notes:

	ODT-OS Runtime		      9.0 MB
	Swap Space		     15.0 MB
	Workspace		      9.0 MB
	ODT-OS Extended Utils	     13.2 MB
	ODT-NET			      6.7 MB
	ODT-VIEW (X11R3)	     12.5 MB
	ODT-DOS (DosMerge)	      2.4 MB
	ODT-DATA (Ingres)	     32.0 MB
	------------------------------------
	Total			     100 MB

Note that the 100MB includes 9MB of 'workspace', so dropping
ODT-DATA and ODT-NET would leave you with about 40 MB of
usable file space.

It sure is tempting to leave tcp-ip in, though, and be able
to connect right up to your home-office network.
