But we need to definitly resolve the problems regarding the config.ps-file, if we do not want to revert to previous version of teTeX (see the new thread from today regarding lyx). It seems that there are some more people having problems with it and I think we should resolve this problem. Btw.: It would be nice to know what demon (sorry, I don't know his real name) as the maintainer is thinking about this. Anybody knows if he's in holidays or something like this?
