The foundation compiler packages from Slackware 4.0
----------------------------------
pkg binutils.tgz        ##  1.6 mb
pkg egcs.tgz            ##  2.8 mb
pkg gmake.tgz           ##   .2 mb
pkg libc.tgz            ##  1.1 mb 
pkg linuxinc.tgz        ##  1.5 mb
----------------------------------
Those are the package sizes.  They will be larger when
unzipped.  If you are just compiling a new kernel, you
do not need libc.tgz and linuxinc.tgz.

The compiler packages will fit into 20 mb.  Sourcecode 
packages can take a lot of space (kernels and X are 
probably the worst), but you can always delete the 
sourcecode after you have compiled.
