I mainly use nano for all c,c++ work but would like to try emacs on etch except when i went to install it using apt-get i got this message Package emacs is not available, but is referred to by another package. Which version is available for etch and where would i be able to locate it?
Cheers

Code: Select all

apt-get install emacs21

'apt-cache' is your friend'

To learn more:

Code: Select all

man apt-cache

Thank you very much. I misunderstood the term cache before, i thought it basicly displayed the packages currently residing on the system. I will be using that option more often now.
