HOWTO Disable that annoying Emacs Splashscreen
The new emacs included with OpenSuSE 10.3 includes a “feature” that displays this irritating little splash screen when you’re trying to edit a file. It’s almost irritating enough to switch to vi.Fortunately, there’s an easy way to disable it. Create or edit the file called .emacs in your home directory:
$ vi ~/.emacs
and add the following line:
(setq inhibit-splash-screen t)
and voila, it’s gone for good.

I was almost starting to like 10.3.
Thank you for the fix!

Thanks for the clear fix for disabling the emacs splash screen. I think it does not matter where I paste the fix, however, it seems to be a good idea to me to put it into the “Custum settings” which should of course read “Custom settings” :-). Last time I had to fix that was on SUSE 5x…

So THIS is how I get rid of that “Type C-l to begin…” crap! I thought I was going to go insane! what a frakken misfeature. Thank you for that. What’s more, Google came up with only two pages on the literal string; hopefully now, it’ll see this one as well!!

Thank you for that! I was struggling with the –no-splash option but that is working better.
