Yes, I was looking into that. I dont quite understand how to change
EMACSLOADPATH.
I did these:
(setq default-directory "~/EmacsHome/")
(setq user-emacs-directory "~/EmacsHome/.emacs.d/")
but I do not think that it did any difference because:
1. When the startup screen comes, I click on "Open Home Directory" and it
always opens up the HOME directory which is defined system-wide as
/home/kishore.
2. Any autogenerated file by emacs is stored in the HOME directory as
defined system-wide.
I think what I want is to somehow change the way emacs starts up and force
it to look into a different folder for my .emacs.
Is this possible?
