Doing a "full" installation of any distro is just Bad Idea Jeans (tm).
If in doubt, install the bare minimum and figure out what's missing
(may require posting what sounds like stupid questions and/or finding 
someone to sit down with you and see what you have/need). 

And if you thing 800MB is bad, the install files for SuSE (not counting 
the source packages) are over a gig. You really should never blindly 
install things unless you have more hard drive space than you could 
ever need and you are lazy.
