Do you mean that you already have the texlive package installed and now only want a user-friendly frontend?

What features do you need?

Do you want the editor to give you a preview of the equations?

TeX Live does not include an editor nor a previewer as far as I know.

Could you explain what you want to achieve? Why <10MB?

because I am limited by my installation in terms of size. I simply need the editor and nothing else (all other package such as openoffice ... or abiword)

Your installation does not include TeX Live or similar TeX package. Do I understand you correctly?

What exactly do you want the editor to do? Since you can write LaTeX code in any old editor, I guess you want something more like being able to preview the equations on screen, generate images or create PDF's.

Perhaps a web-based editor like jaxedit (http://code.google.com/p/jaxedit/) could be an option. You can download it to run it offline as well. The tarball is only 3.1 MB and even the uncompressed folder uses less than 10MB. :-)
