I agree with the others, increase RAM if you can.  You can find old SCSI 
drives for nearly free now (Quadras are giveaways, and they often have 
500-1000 MB drives) so you should be able to get a decent HD too.  But 
you should still be able to install the essential stuff on a 200MB drive 
with some to spare.

I've installed several times on my SE/30, and the basic install only 
takes 2-3 hours IIRC.  Total time depends on what extras you decide to 
install and the speed of your install media.  I used a 12x CD and I've 
got a big (9GB) disk and decent (80MB) RAM, so maybe that helped.
