In my home directory I have a folder named .emacs.d (/home/Jan/.emacs.d) 
but it doesn't contain a file named .emacs , it contains a folder called 
/home/Jan/.emacs.d/auto-save-list containing no files.

I have installed emacs with yum install emacs.

Do I have to create a .emacs file myself?

Thanks for any help.
