1 GB may be enough, I'm currently using under 800MB. Though a build world
would take quite a bit more, so perhaps a tad more would help. (I have
lots of crap installed though, which you might not need.) Oh... you want
emacs on it, well I don't have that here, not sure how much diskspace
that would need. Just buy another disk and be done with it. :-)
