22.8 Packages
=============

The XEmacs 21 distribution comes only with a very basic set of built-in
modes and packages.  Most of the packages that were part of the
distribution of earlier versions of XEmacs are now available
separately.  The installer as well as the user can choose which
packages to install; the actual installation process is easy.  This
gives an installer the ability to tailor an XEmacs installation for
local needs with safe removal of unnecessary code.
