When I need one of these on a machine that already has X installed, I usually cd to /usr/ports/editors/emacs do a make configure, let it finish, then cd to work/whatever and do a ./configure `./config.status` --without-x11, then cd ../.. and build. Unless the machine has < 3M of memory, emacs isn't a horrible choice for an editor. I've used emacs on machines with as little as 4M of memory from time to time. While I wouldn't want to use it all the time every day on those machines, it is better than having to recall my vi skills. uemacs is interesting, but it isn't gnu emacs. This is both good and bad :-) Warner To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
