Don't like being this stupid but ... I tried doing that and latex then complains that it can't find the english.ins file. So I supposed it wanted it somewhere special and put it in a directory named source where I found some other .ins files. Same thing. I tried specify the direct path to the file at the prompt "Specify path ..." Same thing. Gave up on that, tried reinstalling tetex. And although the rpms _say_ they contain babel.ldf it's not getting installed ... *sigh* Stupid, stupid, stupid ... Martin S -- Fake mail on the net from this address.
