What is unacceptable here? Why is it so?
So I thought I'd try to provide some constructive comment by rerunning the installer.
I started here http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/WThirtyTwoInstallationKit which on line 2 referred me to http://www.student.lu.se/~tps95lbn/Emacs/emacs.html which on line 2 referred me to http://www.student.lu.se/~tps95lbn/Emacs/EmacsSetupUtilities.html which on line 1 referred me to http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/WThirtyTwoInstallationKit
For someone unfamiliar with these web sites a circular set of references like this is not helpful. From a beginners point of view, which of the three pages should they study?
I decided to study
http://www.student.lu.se/~tps95lbn/Emacs/EmacsSetupUtilities.html
I followed the link in the first paragraph to 'Emacs Installer' expecting to get a download but got a link to a section further down the page. Even that did not have a link for a download. I have looked at the whole page but cannot find an emacs installation to download. If I had found this page, with its title "Emacs Installation" via a search engine I'd be puzzled as to why there was not a link to an emacs installation I could download.
To get a download I have to go to
http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/WThirtyTwoInstallationKit
then to
http://www.student.lu.se/~tps95lbn/Emacs/emacs.html
then to
http://www.student.lu.se/~tps95lbn/Emacs/DL/
which is a directory listing. None of the files there are large enough to contain emacs. Your email said
2) You can use the emacs*tar.gz file from the setup utility (it will unpack it for you).
I did download the .zip from the directory and confirmed it did not contain emacs.
I'm now completely confused, because the installer I downloaded a couple of weeks ago for home use did include emacs. I dont think its just me, I think anyone who was unfamiliar with the subject would be equally confused.
If you post a link to an emacs installer I'll download it and provide more feedback.
