[Sussex] Linux Firewall on a 50mg CD

[Mark Olliver]

Thanks for everyones help,

I am doing well so far I have a smallish distro downto 148M which I can 
put on the CD, and I have all crutial scripts on the floppy. All I need 
to do no is to update packages to there latest. The main large component 
left is libarys, as I dont know what can be deleted safely.
