So, you can either get rid of GNU emacs, or change it to use saner values. To do the latter, you can stick the following in your .emacs file: -(defun linux-c-mode () - "C mode with adjusted defaults for use with the Linux kernel." - (interactive) - (c-mode) - (c-set-style "K&R") - (setq tab-width 8) - (setq indent-tabs-mode t) - (setq c-basic-offset 8)) - -This will define the M-x linux-c-mode command.
