- We're setting up a portable sparc system to run standalone for trips
- in the field. Unfortunately, we only have a 200 MB hard drive, and
- need to put several tools on it. I want to put emacs on it, but I
- need to minimize the space it takes. Although I've used emacs for
- over a year, I'm realizing I don't really understand entirely what
- happens when you type emacs and the editor appears magically.
-
- So, what do I need? Of course, I need the executable. How 'bout the
- elisp files - some of them seem to be loaded dynamically (the
- rectangle functions come to mind), but most are already in the
- executable? If I need the elisp files, do I just need the .elc files,
- not the .el files. None of the .c or .o files, I assume, and nothing
- from the ./etc directory, except the executables.

- Thanks,
