Does anyone here know? One would think that all one has to do is M-x doctor RET and mention anything with the keywords "rms" or "stallman" in it. For example: "Can we talk about Stallman?" "Do you know Stallman?" Then it proceeds to talk about Stallman-related topics. I feel that stallmanlst is rather small, though. ;) All it has is (($ describe) your ($ feelings-about) him \.) (($ areyou) a friend of Stallman \?) (($ bother) Stallman is ($ random-adjective) \?) (($ ibelieve) you are ($ afraidof) him \.) Maybe "linux" without "gnu" should also bring up doctor-rms, and stallmanlst should also have entries about free software and open source software... You could even have it hunt through your packages for nonfree stuff and ask (($ bother) you have non-free software on your system?) and things like that. ;) Or it would check your fstab, partition table, lilo.conf or boot.lst, figure out that you're dualbooting Microsoft Windows, and say something about that too.. It's all good, right? =) Sorry, couldn't resist. -- Sacha Chua - 4 BS CS Ateneo geekette interests: emacs, gnu/linux, wearables, teaching compsci
