I just figured out that the ones listed above come with it, but NOT 
libgcc_s and libstdc++.so.5.  Borrowing them from Slackware 11 means we 
would need to also upgrade to glibc 2.3.6 which I hope not to do for a 
while.

Everything else required is found in Slackware 7.1 (or maybe 8.1).

Firefox unpacks to 26MB, and seamonkey to about 40MB, but the latter seems 
much less demanding of additional libraries (maybe because it comes with 
most of them).  I cannot get Firefox to load any more.  Maybe skipstone 
somehow broken it (uninstalling it).  Steven, please compare cpu and 
memory usage.
