Also, if you want a close to default RedHat installation, upgrade the teTeX RPM's to those in the RedHat rawhide distribution. They realised that turning on "secure mode" was not the way to go and reverted back in current rawhide. There is a bugzilla bug about this problem Hopefully RedHat will update to teTeX 2.0 for 8.1. -- Norman Gaywood -- School of Mathematical and Computer Sciences University of New England, Armidale, NSW 2351, Australia [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://turing.une.edu.au/~norm Phone: +61 2 6773 2412 Fax: +61 2 6773 3312
