Is there any headway being made on that front? I've given up on all OS distribution-based TexLive drops. I install texlive manually from their installer and then run tlmgr under cron control nightly to keep it up-to-date. I do this on FreeBSD (my primary dev and server platform) as well as all linux instances in my environment. It makes things a lot simpler. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tim Daneliuk tundra@tundraware.com PGP Key: http://www.tundraware.com/PGP/
