I think, if you live in the USA it is correct. 

use the Package 'localepurge' to remove it. 

Then use dselect, and if you are in the 'Select' menu with all the 
Packages, Press '<SHIFT> + R' to deselect the selections of dselect. 

Now REMOVE with '_' all Packes you do not need like 

groff-base, man, man-db, ppp, pppconfig, pppoe, pppoeconf

Do you work with the 2.4.XX Kernel ??? REMOVE 'ipchains' 

Do you need 'iptables' ?

If you do not need exim (+1200kB) on your system, install ssmtp 
(8kB), which will automaticly deinstall exim. 

To find some unused libs, install deborphan, to find them. 

Compile your own Kernel only with the options you need, and without 
modules support (all compiled in). Do not use intrd so you can 
remove the 'initrd-tools' and REMOVE 'modconf' with 2916 kByte. 

I had installed the base of WOODY and striped down from 64 MByte to 
35 MBytes. Enough space on my Conner 210 MByte to install other 
stuff... 

Good Luck
Michelle
