I want a fast-starting emacs session (e.g. when I run "sudo emacs"
to edit a superuser-owned config file), and it's infuriating to
wait for emacs to go through a lengthy and useless song-and-dance...
emacs -Q
I've gotten some very useful ideas in this thread (thanks Anselm,
Michael, and Giorgios), but this one actually blew me away. In
all my years using emacs (decades really) I never knew of this
command-line switch. In fact, after rummaging through the man page
and the emacs docs, I was not able to find it. But it works like
gangbusters. Thanks!
