I ran 2.1 and WARP 3 for years in a 60 meg partition.  Put sound and tcp/ip 
and swap in another partition though, but I had over 10 megs left.  I think I 
had sound originally in there too, but moved it later.  
You already have WARP installed, how much room are *you* using?  Make it 
sized to fit what you do.
