Install emacs on Linux

[Mark Moynahan]

The file to get the base emacs loaded was emacs-20.7-17mdk.i586.rpm. Once I 
loaded that file I was able to load the X11.

\_ for Mandrake 8.1, ithe base rpm should be
\_ emacs-el-20.7-17mdk.i586.rpm

Err....sure?  Usually (in RH, at least) the -el- is for emacs-lisp
files which you don't really need as an average user.  My guess is
that the base package would be emacs-20.7-17mdk.i586.

FWIW, on my rh7.2 system I have:

emacs-20.7-41-i386
emacs-nox-20.7-41-i386
emacs-el-20.7-41-i386
emacs-X11-20.7-41-i386
