I sudo to root to set up a system, the set up command throws up a form
in my 'favorite' editor emacs and when I try to edit the form, after a
short time it starts beeping with
Creating directory: permission denied, /home/.../.emacs.d
I exit emacs and emacs produces a core file.
On the advice of this forum, I added
(setq auto-save-list-file-prefix nil)
to my .emacs file to no effect. The version of emacs is 21.3.1 on
Linux.
Does anyone have a suggestion? Around here everyone suggests that I
switch to a different editor.

Since you've su'ed to root, I think you need to put that in the
root /.emacs file, or start emacs with -u $LOGNAME to get your
customizations.

Very Impetuous.
