I am an emacs and org-mode newbie. I am mainly coming to Emacs for Org-Mode. So am using Eric Schulte's Emacs Starter Kit 24. I put this in .emacs.d. It is suggested in the kit "Move the resulting directory to ~/.emacs.d " http://eschulte.github.io/emacs24-starter-kit/ When I start Emacs I get the following error. "Warning (initialization): Your `load-path' seems to contain your `.emacs.d' directory: /home/username/.emacs.d/ This is likely to cause problems... Consider using a subdirectory instead, e.g.: /home/username/.emacs.d/lisp" I am uncertain how I should proceed now. I suspect this will be a common problem for new people. How should I setup the Emacs Starter Kit? Move the whole kit to /home/username/.emacs.d/lisp ? Put the init.el in .emacs.d?
