Firefox and Libreoffice are the pigs here. Unfortunately, I can’t think of anything as full‐featured that doesn’t take up more space. You could replace Libreoffice with siag and Firefox with NetSurf, but most people wouldn’t find that useful.
There’s no getting around it: this stuff doesn’t fit on CDs anymore. There’s no making these packages any smaller, so you’ll have to sacrifice features: a lightweight browser (NetSurf or Dillo), lightweight mail (nail), lightweight office/typesetter (siag or lout). Or drop one or more categories from that list. It’s a shame that people don’t care about fitting things in CDs anymore, making this necessary…

Seamonkey is larger than Firefox and mutt combined.

Openbox is larger than Fluxbox. Look at the package sizes.
