I should add his needs are simple, he > needs to write some c code and have mutt use emacs as the editor. Erase all software and install only emacs. You don't need anything else. Do the math. It won't work this time unless there's a good way to make a trimmed-down emacs, say to under 35 mb's (half of the current untarred version version, which maybe doesn't yet including the size of the binary). My personal suggestion would be to speak with the sysadmin and ask for Emacs to be installed in a shared directory. _______________________________________________ Help-gnu-emacs mailing list Help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnu-emacs
