Get tetex-* for LaTeX. I am not sure where they are in an install, but those are the ones that provide xdvi, latex, pdflatex, dvips, etc. You may also find a2ps, mpage and psutils useful. Others are gv, acroread, ggv [gnome-gv] and kdegraphics [provides kghostview]. Auctex is a great emacs LaTeX mode addition, and you should check out preview-latex [at sourceforge] for something similar to lyx. > As for power management, i can't get it working properly yet.(i can only > get suspend) I am testing the latest pmud, but it needs some work. > Don't worry about any referance to APM, thats for i386. http://linuxppc.jvc.nl/RPMS/pmud-0.10-1.ppc.rpm It also has a sourceforge page now. It may not work perfectly with a brand new ibook2, but is great for Wallstreet/Lombard/ibook. Best combined with gkrellm-pmu IMHO. Have you tried typing "snooze" into a terminal ? The older pmud's had a problem waking up after having a CDROM mounted but that should have been fixed with wakebay. Pmud tends to work best with BenH kernels -- there is an option in .config to enable support for it. It used to need the loopback net device which is why it sometimes fails on boot if you have not ifup-ed the network; I am not sure whethre this is still the case. What does it say when you try and start it with debug, no detach "pmud -d" on the terminal and in /var/log/messages ? Q.
