No only 5.5 MB ;)
apt-cache show konqueror | grep Installed
Installed-Size: 5544
Seriously: If you use no other KDE app you have to get quite a lot of
packages. Konqueror uses the qt widget set and almost all of the KDE
framework. So the size konqueror 'really' needs is something between the
extrems of 5 MB and 50 MB (not counting an additional java installation)
But you get not only a browser you get also a powerful file manager, ftp
client, web browser. Remove the one you have and maybe you at the end
you save some disk space ;)
But if you really what to save disk space / memory you should try to get
qt/embedded konqueror/embedded. If it works well on PDAs with will work
well on your laptop.

To me vi is Zen. To use vi is to practice zen. Every command is
a koan. Profound to the user, unintelligible to the uninitiated.
You discover truth everytime you use it.
