100MB should be plenty if you don't plan to compile.

In 47MB I have kermit (but microcom usually works instead), links2, lynx, 
Opera (three browsers), a way to display pdf (without X, convert to images 
or text), a way to view images (xli or zgv), a way to modify images and 
print them (netpbm).  Abiword uses another 12MB.   In a few more megabytes 
you could include sound support (with a larger kernel) and streaming audio 
(mplayer) and a DVD player (mplayer).  Support for digital cameras 
(gphoto).  All of Steven's add-ons might fit into 100MB.

Can you shrink your DOS partition to make a 100MB free space?
