Rainer, There seem to be some problems integrating it with apt (the package manager). It's pretty easy to install independently of the package manager, though it is a very large (at least 1.2GB) download. You can get it from CTAN (http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/texlive/Images/). The simple answer would be to wait until Jaunty (9.04) comes out (scheduled final release April 23, 2009). But it will still be TeXLive-2007 in 9.04, so if you want the new version soon, you'll have to bypass apt. I have TeXLive-2008 running on my Gentoo system (it is "unstable" in portage, the Gentoo package manager), and have not had any problems at all with it. -- Les ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.
