This is a follow-up post on my second (successful) attempt to install TL 2010 from a DVD. Yesterday I took the plunge and replaced my Fedora 12 Xfce Spin with the new Fedora 14 Xfce Spin, as F12 will reach its EOL [End of Life] next week. Surprisingly, the most recent version of TeX Live in the F14 ...

Hi, Tomek,

Thank you for the explanation. I admire what the TeX Live developers and other TeXperts are doing; it makes life much easier for us "regular" users. (I joined TUG three years ago as a small gesture of appreciation and support).

I remember that when I first encountered LaTeX and wanted ...

Hi, sommerfee,

Thank you, too, for the helpful suggestions. The notes about setting up TL on Debian are good; I will read them carefully before I try installing TL 2010 again.

To answer your questions:

(1). Yes, I installed the same scheme each time. Each one was a "full install (everything)", and the only change I made before pressing the "I" key (to begin the installation) was to change the ...

Hello, everyone,

After searching the forum, it seems this question has not been asked ... I am puzzled by the huge difference in installation times (from a DVD) between TeX Live (TL) 2010 and TL 2009: approx. 55 minutes for TL 2009 vs. approx. 7 minutes (!) for TL 2010. I'm wondering if anyone else ...

Hi, ha_entry,

Many thanks for posting this time-saving tip! I tried it tonight (I'm using the same software you are [the default GNOME version of Fedora Core 9) and it is working great.

When I first tried running Kile, it wasn't configured for xdvi so I began Googling for a possible fix. Someone ...
