•
emacs-nox: the program without X11 support.
•
emacs-info: online documentation in info format.
•
emacs-el: the uncompiled library les in Emacs Lisp. These are not required at
runtime.
•
Numerous add-on packages can be installed if needed: emacs-auctex (LaTeX),
psgml (SGML and XML), gnuserv (client and server operation) and others.
11.2 Virtual Consoles
Linux is a multiuser and multitasking system. The advantages of these features can be
appreciated even on a stand-alone PC system. In text mode, there are six virtual consoles
available. Switch between them using Alt + F1 through Alt + F6. The seventh console
is reserved for X and the tenth console shows kernel messages. More or fewer consoles
can be assigned by modifying the le /etc/inittab.
To switch to a console from X without shutting it down, use Ctrl + Alt + F1 to Ctrl +
Alt + F6. To return to X, press Alt + F7.
11.3 Keyboard Mapping
To standardize the keyboard mapping of programs, changes were made to the following
les:
/etc/inputrc
/etc/X11/Xmodmap
