[h-e-w] Re: Control frame size on startup from .emacs

[Neil J Mackie]

Lennart provided some helpful information about his installer and then asked
> > What is unacceptable here? Why is it so?

So I thought I'd try to provide some constructive comment by rerunning the 
installer.

I started here
http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/WThirtyTwoInstallationKit
which on line 2 referred me to
http://www.student.lu.se/~tps95lbn/Emacs/emacs.html
which on line 2 referred me to
http://www.student.lu.se/~tps95lbn/Emacs/EmacsSetupUtilities.html
which on line 1 referred me to
http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/WThirtyTwoInstallationKit

For someone unfamiliar with these web sites a circular set of references 
like this is not helpful. From a beginners point of view, which of the three 
pages should they study?

I decided to study
http://www.student.lu.se/~tps95lbn/Emacs/EmacsSetupUtilities.html
I followed the link in the first paragraph to 'Emacs Installer' expecting to 
get a download but got a link to a section further down the page. Even that 
did not have a link for a download. I have looked at the whole page but 
cannot find an emacs installation to download. If I had found this page, 
with its title "Emacs Installation" via a search engine I'd be puzzled as to 
why there was not a link to an emacs installation I could download.

To get a download I have to go to
http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/WThirtyTwoInstallationKit
then to
http://www.student.lu.se/~tps95lbn/Emacs/emacs.html
then to
http://www.student.lu.se/~tps95lbn/Emacs/DL/
which is a directory listing. None of the files there are large enough to 
contain emacs. Your email said

I did download the .zip from the directory and confirmed it did not contain 
emacs.

I'm now completely confused, because the installer I downloaded a couple of 
weeks ago for home use did include emacs. I dont think its just me, I think 
anyone who was unfamiliar with the subject would be equally confused.

If you post a link to an emacs installer I'll download it and provide more 
feedback.

Neil (J Mackie).
