I thought that he wanted teTeX to be changed, but his reply to my mail made clear that he just asks for a configure option, as you suggest. Werner, you mentioned the following directories: /etc/texmf/ /var/lib/texmf/ /var/cache/fonts/ /usr/lib/texmf/ /usr/share/texmf/ All files in texmf are platform independent and can be on a read-only file system. So we only have /etc/texmf/ /var/cache/fonts/ /usr/share/texmf/ If Thomas agrees that $VARTEXFONTS should be /var/cache/fonts/ instead of /var/tmp/texfonts, what remains is only the symlink to texmf.cnf. You wrote: > Hmmm ... the package te_nfs provides a script tetex-import > together with a README for importing the full teTeX structure > from a teTeX server. Clearly this package conflicts with all > other teTeX packages. I use Slackware, so I cannot look into the files. Can you explain what you mean? Isn't it sufficient to set the $PATH appropriately on a client? I do not understand what you man with "this package conflicts with all other teTeX packages.".
