I emailed the admin, He told me thay will do a system upgrade in the fall, at which time emacs, irssi mutt, wget and anything else he needs will be installed if requested.
Until then he seems out of luck unless like you said there is an emacs-lite version floating around somewhere. I will email the admin perhaps and ask to use /tmp just for the time I need to compile. I would suggest to the admin that the tools be installed now, because their availability is imperative if work is going to get done; Fall is far too long to wait for that. But yeah, the compiled version is only ~15M, so in theory it could be stored in the user's 50M directory after it is compiled. _______________________________________________ Help-gnu-emacs mailing list Help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnu-emacs
