I installed 3.0 on a station with a 105 hard drive and you have to be very careful when choosing what to install.  You must remember that the basic system does not include a c compiler.  I installed the c compiler on the station and was left only about 5 MB of free space.  It will work but you will have to edit out a lot of the options in the upgrade plan.
