Exactly. The beauty of Emacs is that there are multiple options for everything. Overwriting org when I updated Carbon Emacs wasn't really an issue for me because 1) Carbon Emacs is very rarely updated 2) I pull the latest changes from the git repo and run make && make install every day. The reason I just threw org-mode in the Emacs.app directory is that I also had EmacsCVS.app and wanted to keep separate byte-compiled for Emacs 22 and Emacs 23. If you're looking for the simplest way to install a byte-compiled org-mode, I believe you could just clone the git repository to ~/org-mode, run make in the directory, and then add ~/org-mode/lisp to your load path. > Of course, it's very convenient when you download Carbon Emacs (or > others) that everything is in place, but since when do Linuxers care > about convenience? :-) Well, I suppose in this case convenience is in the eye of the beholder. E.g., pacman -S emacs-cvs. ;) Best, Matt
