[plug] bare bones linux for Pentium 100 with 32mb ram

[Daniel]

Hi Plug, I have installed Mandrake and Redhat a number of times (but I'm 
not very familiar with Debian)

When I select the minimum files from their installation programs they seem 
to give me a lot of unnecessary junk.
Is there somewhere I can find out a better way of installing the bare 
minimum files to build a system?
Is the Debian solution practical and lean? How does it compare?

I want to start with those necessary to make a single user bootable command 
prompt system, with a package update tool
then move to
  X11 and a light weight window manager
and then
add a wordprocessor, and later if it is not way too slow, a modem 
connection and a browser.

I have 2 x 400mb hdd, 1 x 200mb hdd and I'm reading up on LVM - I am happy 
to rebuild a 'lean' kernel although I've only just started experimenting 
with this.

Thanks,
Daniel.
