emx 0.9a + gcc 2.7.0 (for a DOS installation only) can occupy less than 6Mb
if you only install a minimal set of files required for operation.  

The following directory list should give you a general idea of what you can
get by with (there are probably a few redundant files in the list too):

/emx/bin:

emxfpemu      emxl.exe      emxload.exe   emxrev.cmd    emxstack.exe

On my 386DX-33 hack machine, with 4Mb RAM and a 120Mb IDE HD, drive
thrashing isn't much worse than with Borland C++ 3.1.
