No. After you have unzipped and started Emacs, where do you think it= will write the .emacs.d folder?
=C2=A0
And = why do you care about .emacs.d that much ?
You can setup emacs us= ing the site-lisp directory if you don't want to write to your host in = ~/.emacs.d.
=C2=A0
You are using "portable" with a meaning a bit different from the = one which is discussed here... It should not write the host machine.


I don't think so.=C2=A0 I have already been ther= e in the past and for longer you seem to imagine.
My point is tha= t you can configure everything from within emacs without requiring an exter= nal installer
to fiddle with your host.
