This is certainly possible; but, rather confining.  Simply make as much
room on a System 6.0.1 startup disk as possible, place kern as start 
then narrow down all that you want from the various 'partitions' of GNO/ME,
place these partitions in the Sytem Folder with kern and initrc and 
edit the namespace file (in /etc) to reflect this.

I would suggest copycat rather than amaterm, simply because the vt100 
emulation is still rather buggy.

You can launch ProDOS 8 from GNO/ME; but, GNO/ME is not active during its 
use.  Besides removing P8 will free up some space from the disk.

My setup is similair but I use one Zip100 for GNO/ME and one Zip100 for 
ProDOS 8 and 'normal' GS applications.  This is also due to the 
incongruency between GNO/ME and other applications (this was I keep them 
seperated).
