Description Esben Mose Hansen 2002-06-29 15:06:36 UTC

/usr/portage/app-editors/xemacs/files/README.Gentoo states that

> The first thing to set is the download site (XEmacs' package-ui
> installs via network).
>
>  M-x package-get-remote RET
>

However, this is incorrect. The last line should've been 

> M-x customize-variable RET package-get-remote RET

as stated in the "full documentation." Unfortunately, M-x package- has a lot of
similar completion, so a casual xemacs user like myself can get mightly confused
before reading the "full documentation."

<OT> This is the greatest Linux distrubtion I've EVER seen. Thank you guys! I
never did figure out how to use rpm very well, and used to compile stuff
myself... now it's a breeze, and the init/rc stuff is far easier than under
SuSE... and xfs is way cool. </OT>
