John,

http://forums.gentoo.org can be your friend.  Plugging your "./bin/bzegrep" 
into the Gentoo forum quick search gave me this result:

IRT your disk sizes, you can build Gentoo on a pretty small disk, I've done it 
on a small 5Gb total, however, I didn't install any X, OO, or anything else 
gui based.
