just another little example of how non-Linux specific many linux
sysadmin tasks are:
i wanted emacs 19; the work having been done by others, i just
ftp'd the emacs-19.9.tar.z source (5megs) from prep.ai.mit.edu
and then:
cd /usr
tar zxvf /mnt/src/emacs-19.9.tar.z
mv emacs-19.9 Emacs
cd Emacs
./configure i386-linux --prefix=/usr --run-in-place
make
mv src/emacs /usr/bin
emacs
and there's my new Emacs just waiting for Calc and other elisp
packages to be ported. did have to update my .emacs with stuff
like
(global-set-key [mode-line C-S-mouse-2] 'describe-key)
but there's nothing linux specific there.
