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.
