    The minimal configuration what I made was: OS/2 WARP 3; FileBar as Shell
MPTS; TCP/IP; Xitami as HTTPD; FTPServer as FTP and Weasel as SMTP/POP3 both
by
Peter Moylan. All of them occupies ~26-28 megs on Seagate's st-351(42 megs ;)
    1) Install and customize OS/2 on any HDD with a lot of free megs. (Source
HDD)
    2) Use LXLite 1.21 to compress DLL's and execs
    3) Use Boot OS/2 tool and create (following the instruction) cutted OS/2
on
small drive. (Target HDD)
    If you need network support.
    4) Install network card(if you really need it) and required components on
Source HDD. Please, don't use Selective Install For networking. 'cause it pull 
a
bunch of shit. For example: using Install.Exe from TCP/IP 3.0 I can do not(?)
install unsuitable things as NewsReader/2, Gopher, Ultimedia Mail lite and so
on.
    5) Remove all unneeded parts such as unuseable NDIS drivers from
\MPTS\MACS
    6) Manually copy all networking related catalogs to Target HDD.
    7) Carefully manually copy all config.sys entries added by networking
system to config.sys on Target HDD
    8) Enjoy.

Bye!
