No. I suggest you use scoadmin to gracefully remove parts and pieces
of the operating system, rather than using rm.

No. SCO man pages include a local server (scohelp or something like
that). It will start without finding the man pages and complain
endlessly. Use scoadmin or custom to do the damage. Strictly
speaking, you don't need them if you have internet access as they are
on the SCO web pile at:
http://www.sco.com/support/docs/openserver/
http://docsrv.sco.com:507/cgi-bin/manform

You might wanna read:
http://www.aplawrence.com/Unixart/nospace.html
before obliterating your documentation. There are plenty of files
that tend to grow endlessly, that can easily be removed or truncated.
There is also the potential for some program to have gone bezerk and
generated huge log files full of repetitious error messages. Look for
huge files in the root filesystem over 10MB with:
find / -xdev -type f -size +20000 -exec l -d {} \;
