Opera 9 works in 24MB on a 100MHz (1997?).  8 works better.
i686 - 1995 Pentium Pro or later.

Now also
http://keesan.freeshell.org/bl/firefox-1.5.0.12.en-US.linux-i686-gtk1.tar.gz
http://keesan.freeshell.org/bl/gecko-sdk-1.5.0.12-gtk1.tar.gz
(do you need gecko too?).

10MB (expands to 30) plus 1MB.

Congratulations and thanks.  What glibc version and what dependencies?

I see Firefox 2.00 for ARM with gkt1 - can an i686 minimal gtk1 version be 
compiled (maybe with the less common libraries static)?
