While I don't disagree with this, I very much doubt if anything this dramatic is needed to solve the OP's problems. I use the teTeX that comes with Fedora-6 quite a lot, and it works perfectly well for me. I don't think it is nearly as easy as you suggest to replace teTeX by TeXLive. In my view, it would be unwise for the OP to follow your advice. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
