- Hello,
- I am wondering how to get access
- to the files on another host or server.
- the question is raised when I try to
- install emacs myself in my bin/
- the problem is that I don't want to
- keep the lib/ myself in my home dir, it takes disk
- spaces. the system has the emacs lib/
- already, so I can just borrow the
- system lib/
-
- my file is at host manta(DEC), and the lib files
- are at the server marlin(SUN). so how can tell the
- emacs during installation as where to get the
- emacs lib/ file. (the path for the server marlin)
-
- the trouble is, host manta is DECstation and
- it uses another DECstation mako as its server.
- I can get access to the mako's files.
- but I don't know how to get access to the
- SUN host marlin's file without using rsh.
-
- Thanks very much !
