I didn't understand everything that happened in your installation notes, but for what I did understand (most of it) I agree with what you say. I'll go through it again, figure out what I'm still confused about, and then ask you on the list. > PPS: No, still no idea who should write all that documentation. I'll make a start. Probably the best is to have two pages, one for system-wide installation in /usr/local/share/texmf, for which life can be a lot simpler, and one for personal installation in $HOME/texmf. -Sanjoy `Never underestimate the evil of which men of power are capable.' --Bertrand Russell, _War Crimes in Vietnam_, chapter 1.
