Running Squeeze on a 2 GB usb stick?

Hi - I have a work laptop with Windows and since it tracks basically
everything I do, I'd like to install Squeeze to a 2 GB usb stick I have
laying around so I can boot to that instead of the internal hdd for personal
use. I plan on doing the Expert Install and was wondering if there is
advice on recommended packages other than the base system for my given
circumstances? Here's what I was thinking of installing in addition to the
base system:

-GParted
-gedit
-Iceweasel
-Synaptic Package Manager
-Update Manager
-Network Manager (or wicd)
-A few things under Preferences like Appearance, Screensaver, Power
Management

Am I silly to think I'll be able to do this on 2 GB? The laptop has 4 GB
RAM so I'm not worried about swap space.

Thank you for any input.
