Re: [PLUG] emacs and termcap
|
Debian uses the terminfo system instead of termcap. I would suggest
getting the emacs.deb files to install on a debian system.
Read the termcap man page on your debian system. Also it would be wise
to read the terminfo man page.
To install emacs or xemacs on your system the following debian packages
need to be installed:
emacsen-common
emacs20
for xemacs look at all of the xemacs packages that are available. I
prefer xemacs20 over the other packages.
To see what is available on the debian system use dselect which will
show every package that you have available to install.
