SuSE Linux: Version 8.0
After having updated to SuSE Linux 8.0, some changes can be appreciated in Emacs: the cursor blinks, there are additional page borders, the text is no longer displayed in color, etc.
The current version of Emacs is a major release (21.x) and includes many features that are either new or tuned to meet the requirements of newcomers.
You will have to make the best of these achievements. However, as an "old school" user, you might want to disable certain features. In this case, please proceed as follows:
cp ~/.emacs ~/.emacs.pre8 cp ~/.gnu-emacs ~/.gnu-emacs.pre8
/etc/skel/
to your home directory:
cp /etc/skel/.emacs ~ cp /etc/skel/.gnu-emacs ~
/usr/share/emacs/21.1/etc/NEWS
NEWS
contains a detailed list of all the new features.
