I thought it was going to be as easy as Aquamacs (lots of experience) on Mac machines.... The end message that I get is "accusing" me of ignoring X-option. I switched from OSX to Ubuntu Karmic a couple of months ago and I do not regret it. Yes, it took more time to make Gnu Emacs behave is somewhat similar fashion to Aquamacs. Yes, I think that Aquamacs is the nicest Emacs ever produced. However, you can get close to it with Ubuntu's emacs23 package and some .emacs adjustments. I have never encountered this X-option message. Does it appear during installation or when you try to run Emacs? -- Henri-Paul Indiogine Email: hindiogine@gmail.com Skype: hindiogine Website: http://www.coe.tamu.edu/~enrico
