You can also try to fool latex by changing your pc date.
No, it is actually the worst thing to do. Most Linux distributions have their own packaging system and using alien blob (like the TeXLive) has all the disadvantages it can: possbily breaking compatibility if some system library is updated, not upgrading this blob using system tools if securty vulnerabilities are found can lead to serious security problems, etc... That's why I always compiled XeTeX from the SVN, but even that is broken since about 2 years :-/ P.T. -- Petr Tomasek <http://www.etf.cuni.cz/~tomasek> Jabber: but...@jabbim.cz ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ EA 355:001 DU DU DU DU EA 355:002 TU TU TU TU EA 355:003 NU NU NU NU NU NU NU EA 355:004 NA NA NA NA NA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -------------------------------------------------- Subscriptions, Archive, and List information, etc.: http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/xetex
