First i want to upgrade Emacs from an older version, but when i try to do this from ports it starts trying to install a whole bunch of X stuff. This is just a server box, and i dont want to have _any_ X running on it. Is there a way i can get Emacs current? i didn't originally set this machine up, but Emacs is installed from Ports and theres no X on the machine, so i dont know how it was originally done. Thanks!
