This describes some special things about the package auctex-10.0g-alt2.

The script that loads AUC TeX is put into /etrc/emacs/site-start.d/. If 
the files in that directory are not read by Emacs on start, then a user 
should load them inn his ~/.emacs.


The two customizations mentioned in INSTALLATION that you don't usually 
have to do with AUCTeX from this package:

1. In most cases, you don't have to set the "user option" `TeX-macro-global'
as told in INSTALLATION -- it defaults to /usr/share/texmf/ -- the 
directory that is used by ALT's tetex package.

2. The value of the variable `TeX-printer-list' is computed every time 
a user starts Emacs (loads AUC TeX). And it is the list of printers 
shown by lpstat (should work with CUPS). If you wish to change this 
behaviour -- follow the instructions in INSTALLATION.


One more difference in settings: the path for the place where generated
data is stored leads now into /var/lib/emacs/...


The default setting for TeX-master is not hte same as in author's AUCTeX 
distribution: in our package, it is such that the user is queried for the 
name of the master file if the edited file doesn't seem to be one (i.e. doesn't
contain  \documewntclass &c.).
