It might be big, but I use Emacs for A LOT of things, like writing
this email for example. What I like with emacs other than the
editor-part is being able to use it for so many things.

I must say I prefer jed. First of all its more emacs-like. Also it's
more powerful than pico (which has problems with long lines for example).

If you have an ISO-rescue-image, there really isn't any reason why it
would _have_ to be minimal other than to save potential download time.
