I had a about 60 megs of space free on flash before untarring this, and 37.9 free after installing it, quite a bit less than 40 megs.

I forgot that flash is compressed, so it takes up even less room.

The only problem I had with hildon apps is that osso-xterm is a little big, but if you use the fullscreen button, it fits on the screen just like under hildon.

You could not get what browser to open? links? or you mean Hildon browser, "microb"? microb/opera will not work under any WM but matchbox that I could ever find

This is definetly faster than KDE, but nowhere near as functional. It does however provide a fast WM and is functional enough to be usefull.
