I have selected the right language and I am using RH6.2 and installed

and Latex packages that could be installed.
Still the hyphentation looks unreal. I'm working on quite a large
document, so it is
very difficult to tell Latex how every word should be handled.
Is there a way to turn hypentation off ?
