I did a full stage 1 install on a Pentium 100 with similar characteristics:
32 MB RAM but only an 8 GB HD. I seem to recall that the system build took
me around 19 days. Translate into your 33 MHz system and I'd say you'll be
going for about 2 months.

> The machine has a 33MHz 486, 36MB RAM and a 12GB 4200RPM disk. I used
> Slackware floppies to boot the system and get a PCMCIA NIC working.
> Downloaded a stage1 tarball and went from there.
