I have been trying to make a portable Emacs myself, but I ran into some of the same problems. It certainly would be nice to have easy-to-use, customized portable Emacs. I certainly can be done; TLC2 (The LaTeX Companion, 2nd edition) contains a ready-to-run XEmacs with direct LaTeX support. I would like to have something similar with Emacs, my .emacs, AUCTeX, and the LaTeX packages I use. If you get it to work I, at least, would be very interested in either a tutorial or a ready made portable Emacs. Cheers, Rasmus
