What > do you think is the best (or safest) way to do that? Dunno if ubuntu provides emacs23 snapshots. If not, just get the current head from CVS and install it in /usr/local (the default). That way if you run into problems, you still have a working emacs. Note that some linux distros provide a lot of emacs extensions that aren't part of the base install, so you may want to ajust your load-path if you want to use those from your custom built emacs (or install the extensions you want yourself) -- Joost Diepenmaat | blog: http://joost.zeekat.nl/ | work: http://zeekat.nl/
