Should be no problem, although your /usr is going to be extremely
tight.  Put root (30 MB) and swap (30 MB) on the first drive (/var
will be on your root partition),a nd make the entire second drive
/usr. base.tgz will install just fine, and I think you'll also be
able to fit comp.tgz. I wouldn't give much hope for putting manual
pages or other extra stuff on that disk, though.
