Forgive him, we are having bad time regarding the overall heat
increase we are handling here in France. It's especially hard for
people still in Paris with such a heat crawling around... *smirk*
BTW, just 1 or 2 question that have been bugging me around for some
days (i'm sure it's been discussed b4, but i couldn't find it in the
mailing list archive) :
(Note i just subscribed the list 3 days ago or so) :
- if i'm not wrong, now XEmacs 21.0 comes in a minimal state, and
people does have to pick all the package they need by themselves. What
i did not get is how this may be done.
What i got is : if you do have efs installed, everything will work
fine .. i only gunzip'ed/untarred the package in the supposed
appropriate place ($prefix/lib/xemacs-21.0)
And .. so now ? What am i supposed to do ? do the same with the
package i want (regarding i'm really not accurate with dependencies
that might be required)
Or is it supposed to pop up in a list somewhere where i can select
what i need ?
NB: i'm behind a firewall with a ftp proxy (not socks, honey, just a
dumb silly unusefull http/ftp proxy), if this matters...
By the way, despite the global amount of disk required regarding the
package i effectively used, i was used to the 'configure --stuff &&
gmake install' dumb process.
Can someone enlighten me about why the 'get the package you want'
fashion was appended to the process (beside the evidence of cleaning
the jungle everyone downloaded while a simple forest was needed).
