Yes, I've been through that, too, in the TL2009 and TL2010 packages. But I don't think I've had any problems with the TL2011 packages, since the packaging system has matured. I'd definitely recommend using the TL2011 packages, by installing http://jnovy.fedorapeople.org/texlive/2011/packages.fc15/texlive-release-2011-5.20120115_r25109.fc15.noarch.rpm TL2012 is currently a bad option for production, regardless of whether one installs it manually or with Jindrich's packages. -- Jussi Lehtola Fedora Project Contributor jussileht...@fedoraproject.org _______________________________________________ TeXLive mailing list TeXLive@linux.cz http://www.linux.cz/mailman/listinfo/texlive
