- Well, the emacs provided with SLS includes X11 support, but doesn't
- have to have X running for it to run, it can do text terminals too. However,
- it still needs the X libraries since they're linked in whether they're
- used or not.
-
- The upshot is, you need to install X as well, or at least grab the
- X libraries out of whichever of the higher disks they're on for emacs to
- run. I also noticed that the standard lisp files aren't included, you'll
- have to grab them from an archive somewhere.
