When a MAC user is using the underlaying BSD system, and want to use the Ports system, he has to read the documentation. Just because you can use a mouse to do some all-day-long tasks is not a reason to not read a documentation. Reading documentation is a must, even for a coffee machine or a microwave. In this case, you should know about your tool of your choice. When you use Debian, you should know something about the debian way (ubuntu is debian based ;)). When you use SuSE, you should know something about yast, when you use RedHat, you should know about the RHAT config utilities. Learning by doing is a nice way to solve some problems, but it's timeconsuming. Knowing where to read about your problem before you start "doing and learn" is much better ;) > > > > More generally, I'm a fairly heavyweight Emacs expert (author of a > > > couple of the standard-library packages, among other things). > > > Please consider me available for package testing. > > > > Okay, I'm currently uploading Michaels emacs22 package to my personal > > package archive.

Sorry for my ignorance, I'm a recovering Fedora user. man apt-get sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list add those lines, <ZZ> sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install <package> I wonder what fedora is using as a repository package manager (not rpm, this is equivalent to dpkg) but I thought they are using smart or yum as package manager, no?
