Hello, I upgraded to emacs-21.1-2mdk (from emacs-20.7) and I have some comments.
After the upgrade I still had the following links: /usr/bin/emacs -> /etc/alternatives/emacs /etc/alternatives/emacs -> /usr/bin/emacs-20.7 After modifying the deprecated link to /etc/alternatives/emacs -> /usr/bin/emacs-21.1 I can again run emacs by typing "emacs" at the command line. But I don't understand how the /etc/alternatives work. If I type "emacs" at the command line, I get an emacs window with a green background and yellow fonts. If I type "emacs-21.1" at the command line I get a much "nicer" window with a white background and black fonts. I don't understanf why I have different results. Could someone give me a pointer or a link for the behaviour of /etc/alternatives? Thanks.
