I was running Emacs on a 486 with something like 16 MB of RAM. Don't remember the HDD size.
The Emacs executable I built from source is about 28 MB. Honestly I don't know what else is needed besides that executable that'd be really big.
Is it really that problematic that it wouldn't work with 512 MB of RAM and 4 GB of storage?
- cozzyd 2y agoI think the problem is the Debian packaging, which has hundreds of MB of elisp or something. https://packages.debian.org/sid/emacs-common https://packages.debian.org/sid/emacs-common (yes, it does fit, but it takes up way more space than I'd like...)
