In any case, I was not particularly proud of what I was doing to fix up the symlinks, and it was risky enough that I wanted to keep the originals in place until the copied symlinks were verified [ only increases the space from 4.2GB to 4.3GB ]. > >It seems that "kpsewhich --help" can tell you where files are searched > >for.
