If you absolutely can't get anymore space, 500MB will do, but you will need to go through the Expert install. Make sure you have a hard-copy of the documentation handy or a second computer so that you can have access to the docs online.
Anyway, you'll need to go through all the packages and get rid of the ones you don't need. This will probably take awhile, but it shouldn't be too hard since there's descriptions available for every package. If you don't still don't understand what a package is after reading the desription, don't mess with it.

"c) I was told NOT to install Linux on a non-partitioned HDD."

Mandrake will handle all the partitioning and formatting stuff for you.
