I currently run with the current time and date displayed on the the mode
line via:

(setq display-time-day-and-date t)  ; Make the display more verbose
(display-time)                      ; Display the current time on the modeline


I would like to also have the current line number continuously
displayed on the mode line, even if it means killing the time display.

Can anyone tell me how to do this?
