if you just want to occasionally edit files as root with emacs, you could install tramp. Then you just open (for instance) /[suu/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/etc/hosts in your normal-user emacs and it'll do all it needs to. (note that you'll need uuencode / uudecode around for the "suu" method to work. there's also the "su" method that uses sudo, if you happen to use sudo). -- Andrew J Cosgriff <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> memory lucid ozone virus europe -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
