Mine is over 100 pages long in PDF, so I t= hink it's safe to call it mini. As for the Emacs Manual, it is currently over 600 pages long: http://www.gn= u.org/software/emacs/manual/pdf/emacs.pdf . Mine is over 43 pages long. I a= lso cover how to install and the issue with Capslock/Control, and how to sw= ap the two to get a better Emacs experience (and other things that use Cont= rol in general).
