| Post subject: | Installing emacs |
I'm an old emacs user, and while I've been able to get around with vi, I finally decided to take the time to install emacs. In case you are interested, here is what I did to install emacs under R5A16. Log in as root and do the followng: Code: apt-get update apt-get install emacs21 If you want to set emacs to be your default editor for operations like crontab -e you can also do the followng as root: Code: cd /usr/bin
mv editor editor.orig ln -s /usr/bin/emacs editor Thanks to Cesman for his post of Feb, 2004. While the exact steps have changed since his original post, that post give me the starting point I needed! Marc |

Alternatively, you can install "zile". It's a bare-bones "emacs-like" editor. It uses Emacs keybindings, but is small and compact. Code: apt-get install zile
should do it... |

I use jed myself, it's been rated as having the "best" emacs emulation. Before GNU Emacs fixed the addresses limitations in it's lisp interpreter a few years back, it was able to edit files that emacs blew chunks on. It's also about twice as fast on most tasks, and 4-8 times as fast at startup last time I bothered to measure.. 
Code: apt-get update
apt-get install jed xjed |
