Actually, I'm surprised that GNU Emacs has this layout. What we do here is having /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/lib[exec] shared by all identical machines. emacs-20.3 would then install in /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/libexec/emacs/20.3/ <that's all> and you're done for all these machines. If you want to compile it for other architectures, you just do it on another machine, or cross-compile and install through the /net filesystem. You see that I don't have to add any mountpoints or whatever. All directories needed to be shared are already there. -- / / _ _ Didier Verna http://www.inf.enst.fr/~verna/ - / / - / / /_/ / ENST, INFRES C201.1 mailto:verna＠inf.enst.fr /_/ / /_/ / /__ / 46 rue Barrault Tel. +33 (1) 45 81 73 46 75013 Paris, France Fax. +33 (1) 45 81 31 19
