1.
I did that and interestingly it worked.

In the terminal it said:
followings packages are being installed.
It installed every single package of Emacs (including Emacs 29.4) in my 
main profile, which I had in the Emacs manifest.
So I have now 180 packages.

2.
I thought it will be like the manifest of Emacs which I had in a 
separate profile, but now every emacs package got separately installed.

So, where is now my emacs manifest?

4.
At least I can open Emacs in my application list.

5.
Can I now delete my Emacs manifest in my separate profile?

thanks

Gottfried
