It doesn't seem to be obvious from the docs on-line, but TeXLive2008 also includes "SyncTeX" functionality within the latex binary. SyncTeX replaces the functionality that used to be provided by the pdfsync package.

if I'd like to update from texlive 2007 to 2008, I do have to remove the old version first, right? How can texlive be properly removed under a linux system (say ubuntu) if the software was installed from a dvd and not from the distribution repositories itself?

regards
