Lennart provided some helpful information about his installer and then asked
What is unacceptable here? Why is it so?
So I thought I'd try to provide some constructive comment by rerunning the
installer.
I started here
http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/WThirtyTwoInstallationKit
which on line 2 referred me to
http://www.student.lu.se/~tps95lbn/Emacs/emacs.html
which on line 2 referred me to
http://www.student.lu.se/~tps95lbn/Emacs/EmacsSetupUtilities.html
which on line 1 referred me to
http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/WThirtyTwoInstallationKit
For someone unfamiliar with these web sites a circular set of references
like this is not helpful. From a beginners point of view, which of the three
pages should they study?
I decided to study
http://www.student.lu.se/~tps95lbn/Emacs/EmacsSetupUtilities.html
I followed the link in the first paragraph to 'Emacs Installer' expecting to
get a download but got a link to a section further down the page. Even that
did not have a link for a download. I have looked at the whole page but
cannot find an emacs installation to download. If I had found this page,
with its title "Emacs Installation" via a search engine I'd be puzzled as to
why there was not a link to an emacs installation I could download.
To get a download I have to go to
http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/WThirtyTwoInstallationKit
then to
http://www.student.lu.se/~tps95lbn/Emacs/emacs.html
then to
http://www.student.lu.se/~tps95lbn/Emacs/DL/
which is a directory listing. None of the files there are large enough to
contain emacs. Your email said
2) You can use the emacs*tar.gz file from the setup utility (it will
unpack it for you).
I did download the .zip from the directory and confirmed it did not contain
emacs.
I'm now completely confused, because the installer I downloaded a couple of
weeks ago for home use did include emacs. I dont think its just me, I think
anyone who was unfamiliar with the subject would be equally confused.
If you post a link to an emacs installer I'll download it and provide more
feedback.
Regards,
Neil (J Mackie).
