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,
