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.
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.
