I can't speak to the proper debian spot (but would be interested in the answer). For now I share a texmf tree with a WinNT installation on the same drive, so I do one of two things: 1.) Install CTAN stuff in /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/misc, or 2.) Install it in /theodor/texmf/tex/latex/misc where /theodor is the mountpoint of my NT partition. : : Also, once installed, what is the command for making tex/latex aware of these : files? : : Thanks very much for your help : -- : Giulio Morgan : [EMAIL PROTECTED] : : : -- : To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] : with a subject of "unsubscribe".
