I'm running 23 but the question is so basic I thought better to keep the line noise off the devel list and ask here. How can I ensure that some specific code of my choosing is loaded at the earliest possible point when emacs starts. What I want to do is load something like this: ;;[Tip from Kai G] make loaded files give a message (defadvice load (before debug-log activate) (message "Now loading: %s" (locate-library (ad-get-arg 0)))) That will tell exactly what is loading and in what order. Maybe there is a better or hopefully simpler way like possibly compiling something directly into the binary when it is compiled.
