System V/AT is a bit smaller (only about 10 disks, total), but in any case,
unless you plan to use troff (have a photo-typesetter sitting around?) or
fortran, there's a lot of stuff you can delete to make room on your disk.

I am currently running System V/AT on a 10MHz clone with a 20MB, 85ms
Microscience drive, and I have about 7MB of space left. Of course,
a larger, faster drive would be nice, but it's workable as-is - still 
better than working at 1200 baud via modem.
