I've always been a vim user, so I've never installed emacs on my machines. However, I have a need for it now and when I went to install it, discovered that it has all kinds of x-related dependencies (xfree86-common, xlibs, libxaw7)
Does anyone know what the correlation is between text-based emacs and x? (this is the emacs20 package from woody -- NOT xemacs21) Is this something I can safely override (probably not) or work around and still use the debian package system? Suggestions welcome. --kurt
