The texlive that comes with fedora 17 is texlive 2007, the version from the tug link is texlive 2013. On my system I used yum to remove texlive, then downloaded the .iso from tug, mounted the iso, installed from that and it works fine.<br>

OK. I have managed to download the "iso", mounted it, cd-ed to the mount point,<br>
and run ./install-tl. Turned out I had to sudo the command (which seems inconsistent<br>
with the instructions on the TUG web page, but never mind). I set the PATH environment<br>
variable in my .cshrc file, and things seemed to work.<br>
<br>
But ***then*** I tried to run latex on a file for a talk that I have to give in a week's time,<br>
and all hell broke loose. The talk makes use of the powerdot class, and when I do<br>
latex on it, I get:<br>

But powerdot is incompatible with pdfTeX.<br>
<br>
It ***used to*** work!!! (Why do these things always happen<br>
to ***me***?)<br>
<br>
I have attached a file demo.tex to demonstrate the problem.<br>
<br>
What do I need to do to get things to work? (Panic is starting<br>
to set in.)<br>
<br>
Thanks for any insight.<br>
<br>
cheers,<br>
