+The 45MB of space required by the installation directories can be
+reduced dramatically if desired.  Gzip all the .el files.  Remove all
+the packages you'll never want to use (or even ones you do like the two
+obsolete mailcrypts and Gnus 4 in 19.13).  Remove the TexInfo manuals.
+Remove the Info (and use just hardcopy versions of the manual).  Remove
+most of the stuff in etc.  Remove or gzip all the source code.  Gzip or
+remove the C source code.  Configure it so that copies are not made of
+the support lisp.  I'm not advocating any of these things, just pointing
+out ways to reduce the disk requirements if desired.
+
+Now examine the space used by directory:
+
+@example
+0	/usr/local/bin/xemacs
+2048	/usr/local/bin/xemacs-19.13
+
+1546	/usr/local/lib/xemacs-19.13/i486-miranova-sco3.2v4.2
+1158	/usr/local/lib/xemacs-19.13/i486-unknown-linux1.2.13
+@end example
+
+You need to keep these.  XEmacs isn't stripped by default in
+installation, you should consider stripping.  That will save you about
+5MB right there.
+
+@example
+207	/usr/local/lib/xemacs-19.13/etc/w3
+122	/usr/local/lib/xemacs-19.13/etc/sounds
+18	/usr/local/lib/xemacs-19.13/etc/sparcworks

+61	/usr/local/lib/xemacs-19.13/etc/ns
+43	/usr/local/lib/xemacs-19.13/etc/gnus
+@end example
+
+These are support directories for various packages.  In general they
+match a directory under ./xemacs-19.13/lib/xemacs-19.13/lisp/.  If you
+do not require the package, you may delete or gzip the support too.

+
+These are all Emacs Lisp source code and bytecompiled object code.  You
+may safely gzip everything named *.el here.  You may remove any package
+you don't use.  @emph{Nothing bad will happen if you delete a package
+that you do not use}.  You must be sure you do not use it though, so be
+conservative at first.
+
+Possible candidates for deletion include w3 (newer versions exist, or
+you may just use Lynx or Netscape for web browsing), games, hyperbole,
+mh-e, hm--html-menus (better packages exist), vm, viper, oobr, gnus (new
+versions exist), etc.  Ask yourself, @emph{Do I ever want to use this
+package?}  If the answer is no, then it is a candidate for removal.
+
+First, gzip all the .el files.  Then go about package by package and
+start gzipping the .elc files.  Then run XEmacs and do whatever it is
+you normally do.  If nothing bad happens, then delete the directory.  Be
+conservative about deleting directories, and it would be handy to have a
+backup tape around in case you get too zealous.
+
+@file{prim}, @file{modes}, @file{packages}, and @file{utils} are four
+directories you definitely do @strong{not} want to delete, although
+certain packages can be removed from them if you do not use them.
+
+@example
+1972	/usr/local/lib/xemacs-19.13/info
+@end example
+
+These are online texinfo sources.  You may either gzip them or remove
+them.  In either case, @kbd{C-h i} (info mode) will no longer work.
+
+@example
+20778	/usr/local/lib/xemacs-19.13
+@end example
+
+The 20MB achieved is less than half of what the full distribution takes up,
+@strong{and} can be achieved without deleting a single file.
+@end quotation
+
+giacomo boffi <boffi@@hp735.stru.polimi.it> provides this procedure:
+
+@quotation
+Substitute @file{/usr/local/lib/} with the path where the xemacs tree is
+rooted, then use this script:
+
+@example
+#!/bin/sh
+
+r=/usr/local/lib/xemacs-19.13/lisp
+
+cd $r ; rm -f cmpr ; touch cmpr
+
+du -s .
+
+for d in * ; do
+  if test -d $d ; then
+    cd $d
+    for f in *.el ; do
+#     compress (remove) only (ONLY) the sources that have a
+#     corresponding compiled file --- do not (DO NOT) touch other
+#     sources
+      if test -f $@{f@}c ; then gzip -v9 $f >> $r/cmpr ; fi
+    done
+    cd ..
+  fi
+done
+
+du -s .
+@end example
+
+A step beyond would be substituting @samp{rm -f} for @samp{gzip -v9},
+but you have to be desperate for removing the sources (remember that
+emacs can access compressed files transparently).
+
+Also, a good megabyte could easily be trimmed from the $r/../etc
+directory, e.g., the termcap files, some O+NEWS, others that I don't
+remember as well.
