How to reduce size of Linpus?

Hi all,

What are your suggestions for reducing the total amount Linpus takes up on the SSD?

Just received my new AAO, 8GB SSD, 512MB RAM. I'm looking to just run a barebones install of Linpus, for the following purposes:
1) Access the net. (Will install FF3 for this.)
2) Check emails. (Will install Thunderbird for this.)
3) Watch DivX movies. (Will install VLC for this.)
4) Read PDFs. (Will install evince for this.)
5) Wordprocessing. (Will keep OpenOffice 2.3.)
6) and maybe some games

What components can I safely delete, without affecting system speed and performance? :?: And how? :?: Bit of a Noob to be honest, I'm used to Ubuntu...

I don't suppose a barebones install of the AAO version of Linpus is available for download somewhere?

(With your permission I would like to turn your tips and hints into a post for the guidelines section at a later stage.)

Thanks all!
