Hi Group,
First off all thanks a lot for org-mode! I am trying to use it now for a
couple of weeks, and it (Emacs AND org-mode) is really compelling:-)
I've tried a lot from Outlook over Shadow-Plan and EccoPro. I'm using a
mix of Linux and M$ XP, mainly XP at the time :-(
*Goal*:
- set up emacs as a portable app on a portable 2.5" drive (or USB stick
for that matter) to run on windows
- sync the org-mode files with a location on a server (GIT , is a
directory sufficient, or does GIT need any installation on a linux box?)
- sync the same org-mode files n a linux laptop
- lastly, use the same USB drive org-mode files on a linux laptop.
*Actions*:
- tried to combine emacs with portable apps, but was unable to properly
get this running (the .emacs location on the USB stick did not work out)
- alternatively tried to combine emacs with pstart
(http://www.pegtop.net/start/)
-> this works best now, tried this on a couple different machines,
inspite of the drive picking up different drive letters (G, K, etc)
Pstart enables me to set the proper variable to point to my
\\usbstick\home\emacs-23.1\.emacs file.
*Questions*:
- Is there any command line parameter to point emacs to a specific
/dir/subdir/.emacs_2 file?
This would allow me to experiment with various subsets of .emacs
settings?
- I realize emacs can be run in 'server - client' mode; is it possible
to run emacs as a server on a windows box and remotely connect to this
server from another windows box?
- GIT; could anybody point out a good git tutorial to get this up and
running on a mixed windows / linux platform?
There's plenty of other questionmarks, but I don't want to overdo it and
take it from here..
Thanks a lot for your help!
Erwin
