LaTeX (tetex) files?

[Manuel Carro]

Hi.  I am an old-time LaTeX user, and I am missing some files in
the LaTeX distribution which comes with FC1 + updates.  For example,
the utopia font package (utopia.sty) and listings package are not in
place.  In can copy them from some other machine, but I prefer not to
mess with system-installed files.  Has anyone had the same problem?
Should I update tetex to the FC2 packages?  Which distribution:
fedora.us or fedora.redhat?

Thanks in advance for all and any help.

I don't know if there is more stuff included in the FC2 packages, but I
doubt it.

Your best bet is to get any other packages you need from www.ctan.org or a
mirror and install them in an appropriate subdirectory of
/usr/local/share/texmf/.  Then run texconfig (as root) and select REHASH.
The new packages will then be available as if they had been included in
the original distro, but they won't get mixed up with the distro files.

I use TeX a lot too.  I looked for utopia.sty, don't have it.  Have
other font files, like newcent.  I don't use utopia so I didn't miss
it.

Gosh knows where it went.  If I wanted it, I'd copy it from the old
system or download it.

I'm not sure if it helps, but I have a bunch of style files I use that are 
non-tetex standard. The easiest way I've found to manage them while 
updating or re-installing the OS is to keep them in directories on my work 
partition somewhere and then set up symlinks to them in 
/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex.

Dont forget to run texhash to update latex's database afterwards! Then its 
just a matter of using the style files as usual.

Cheers.

Has anyone had much of a go with lm_sensors and Fedora? I've read the 
documentation at the lm_sensors page and noticed FC1
appeared to have everything installed ready to go. However running 
"sensors-detect" failed to detect anything, but it did fail to load module 
i2c-i801, reporting amongst other things "init_module: No such device", 
which might be the problem. Still learning my way around using modules - 
where might I go to tackle this from here?

Thanks,
Daniel Stonier

Not sure what was wrong with the FC SMP setup, but compiling the i2c and 
lm_sensors
source packages over it got it working no problem.

By the way - what is an SMP kernel?

Cheers,
Daniel.

SMP stands for "Symmetric Multi Processor". It you have a machine with 
more than one CPU then you should have SMP kernel on it. with single CPU 
you should use normal kernel.

I've only just done a fresh install on a new processer and FC produced two 
kernels
that were consequently inserted into grub - one smp kernel and one vanilla 
kernel,
but, only one cpu? Is this something to do with the new processor I've got 
or is
it something FC's picked up incorrectly?

Cheers,
Dan

If you have a pentium4 with hyperthreading enabled, your cpu will look
to the system as two.

Oh, so my system isn't going senile with me! Thanks for the info.

i2c/lm_sensors 2.8.4 support (current release) can be found at

http://atrpms.physik.fu-berlin.de/name/kernel/ and
http://atrpms.physik.fu-berlin.de/name/lm_sensors/
(also linked from lm_sensors' home page).

You need a patched kernel for i2c/lm_sensors >= 2.8.x (as provided in
the links above), because there are drivers in the kernel that need
patching for the i2c >= 2.8.x api.

This isn't really necessary.
If you put the files in ~/texmf/tex/latex
(and run texhash as you say)
they should be found.

The actual directories where tex/latex looks for files
is specified in texmf.cnf in the official tree.
"kpsewhich texmf.cnf" should tell you where this is.

[Anthony Joseph Seward]

It used to be that for a standard Red Hat tetex installation you could
just put your files in $HOME/texmf, run texhash $HOME/texmf in
$HOME/texmf and you were good to go.  It's been a while since I needed
to do that, so I don't know if it still works.
