vi .cshrc.  I strongly urge you to make sure you have some idea of how to
use vi before you try this.  The 'everything' install is
os+fullbinaries+XFree+fullXbinaries+experimental stuff+commercialdemos.
The packages are peices of software that are external to the os, and seem
to be provided for convenience (and what a convenience it is to not have
to download and compile emacs :).
