See http://maemo.org for more information. Basically this is a Debian system with custom extensions because of the limited memory space and special ARM hardware. The Emacs pretest compiles cleanly with GTK support and it runs fine. I have two questions: 1) to save space, I'd like to cut as much as possible from the package. Is there a list of "must have" files in an Emacs package? I don't mean just "must have to run," but all the files that the Emacs maintainers would like to keep in the package--essential READMEs, etc. If there's an example of such a minimal Emacs install, I would appreciate a pointer. 2) I want to add a special way to enter the Meta and Control modifiers on the 770/N800, which don't have a built-in keyboard but use a pop-up keyboard instead, and that keyboard doesn't have Meta or Control keys. This may be a toolbar or another method; my question is if such code should go in the mainline Emacs CVS or if I should keep it in a patch. Thanks for any help... Ted
