[SOLVED] Slackware - minimal package list/installation for web browser only?

Hi all,
I want to install Slackware 14.2 with minimal package list that allows run web browser (eg. firefox) only.
Before I start, I want to ask if maybe anyone here did this excercise before (and could share package list)?

There are a lot of minimal installs out there, but I don't know any that are specific for a web browser. You'll probably just need to play with it until you find what works best for you. Check out these two threads as a way to start (on the first thread, specifically look at nobodino's posts towards the end of the thread).

Hey, this is good stuff! Thank you very much for this finding

You could just install the A and N set and use https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynx_(web_browser) or https://slackbuilds.org/repository/14.2/network/elinks/

It should probably also be mentioned that if you want to use multimedia playback in Firefox, there's a good chance you'll need some 3rd-party programs from SBo (like ffmpeg and/or h264). This will likely require additional dependencies in the d/ and l/ series to be able to compile and run those programs.

I just tried nobodino's bare system. It works but the list is missing lilo.
Next step is to add network and X11.

@bassmadrigal - that is exactly what I want to avoid
@enine - thanks for hint.

[UPDATE 20200401]
Note: the heavy lift has been done by: deNiro and nobodino.

Here is my attempt on Slackware 14.2.
List contains:

- lilo
- network
- openssh
- X11
- elvis(vi)
- upgrade/install packages via slackpkg
- firefox

At the first startup, following must be executed (once):

sed -i '/USE_DHCP\[0\]/s/".*"/"yes"/' /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf
/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 restart
echo "export LC_ALL=C" >> /etc/profile
gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders > /usr/lib64/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache
