Before I mess up my whole configuration, I thought I rather ask a few (quite basic) questions here: 1. do I have to uninstall Emacs 23.1.1 before installing Emacs 24? 2. I load most .el files from my .emacs.de, which is in my Dropbox-folder and therefore accesible from my Linux and my Win 7 machine, and not from the /usr/share/emacs directories - will this configuration be messed up by the new installation? 3. should I change from Ubuntu 32 to 64, are there no problems with the 64bit version? 4. I would really like to try a minimal version of ubuntu 64 with stump-wm and Emacs 24. Does anybody has experience with or even an example configuration for this combination? Thanks for any tips Cheers -- Thorsten
