Thanks for ftp.  Where do I look for sftp?  Someone gave me free webspace 
on a computer that won't allow incoming ftp and does not have kermit (you 
can telnet with kermit and do file transfers).   Supposedly incoming sftp 
will work there.

By desktop stuff I meant gnome, kde, especially if they automatically load 
when you boot the computer and you need to figure out how to stop them.
Icewm is not bad (particularly since I could not even get ratpoison to 
install on the next computer).  

I presume 'X' means Xvesa - how much space does Xvesa, icewm, and xterm 
take up all together?  What applications would you have - the ones 
currently included with your BL2-X packages (calculator, clock)?
