I have the 2.0.5 cdrom at home and can't find emacs on it; I can't check the 2.1 live file system because it's at the office and it's not in the cdrom drive. But my 2.0.5 file system (where /usr is now mounted on /free2) shows this: lrwxr-xr-x 1 bin bin 32 May 13 22:33 /free2/local/bin/emacs -> /cdrom/usr/local/bin/emacs-19.28 as well as other links relating to emacs. You should be able to find this on the cdrom with find /cdrom -name "emacs*". Annelise > On Thu, 1 Aug 1996, Annelise Anderson wrote: > > > First I found the emacs binary on the live file system.
