One way to accomplish things under AFS is to have one machine which always points their afs links to the rw space and thus you can pretty much do builds on that machine. Thus doing package installs on an XEmacs running on that machine wouldn't cause problems for you. -- "The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it." -- Terry Pratchett
