It's probably an FAQ for this group, so please point me in the right
direction if it is...

I happily use Emacs or Xemacs to do all of my editing. I'm now faced
with having to edit on a system with very limited disk space. It is
also on an isolated network so I can't just export and NFS mount.

Has anyone built, or are there recommendations for small emacs
environment? Am I better off with micro-emacs or a variation on emacs?

Please help since I really don't want to use VI.

These are good choices for a minimal Emacs environment when your own
Emacs environment matches closely with default keybindings. Also to
consider is JOVE.

There is also JED, which is a fairly complete implementation of and
Emacs editor. It's GNU Emacs emulation mode matches the real thing
very closely. It's also fully extensible with its own C-like
extension language.

VI is not a bad choice for machines with limited resources.

Current versions of notgnu appear to be only for dos and various
flavors of windows. Am I mistaken or am I just not looking in the
right place?

Where should I be looking? I just did an altavista search for notgnu...

Thanks.
