Here and there I saw references to new file hierarchies, and something about installation scripts ... if I remember correctly. I didn't want to break my system, so I just stopped upgrading, and stopped reading those messages (which I didn't understand, anyway). I'm currently using MikTeX. 1.) Concerning file hierarchy: did something monumental indeed ocurr that I ignored? 2.) If so, is it safe to upgrade? 3.) Is there some other way besides my traditional method of unzipping cont-tmf.zip file into /localtexmf ? Do I need to rebuild the file system? 4.) Have I misinterpreted, and nothing much has changed? Sorry about this. I really want to avoid getting my system into some strange state, and spending hours unraveling the mystery. Done that too many times in my life. -gary
