Bruce,
Yes. I just upgraded tetex to 3.0.0 and everything works just fine.
Another question: My tex installation is tex.ii2. Are there good
reasons to
download the newest version of tex?
Don't know anything about Apples. The standard linux LaTeX, tetex,
was just
upgraded because of an indentified vulnerability that was patched before
being exploited.

My Mac has now been upgraded to OS 1.4.5. In the process, a new hard
drive was installed with the new OS and my applications. My other
files, including my tex installation, have remained untouched in my
private folder on our network. My tex installation, from Gerben
Wierda's site, is in a folder called i-packages. If I now download
LyX 1.3.7 or 1.4.1, should they work? I'm wondering whether the
original tex installation process put any necessary tex related file
in someplace other than the i-packages folder. If so, it may have
been deleted in process of upgrading the OS.
Actually, i-Installer installs gwTeX in /usr/local/, not in the
i-packages folder. (i-packages/ is merely a repository for the
compressed, uninstalled packages.) However, it sounds like with the
upgrade of your Mac, gwTeX has *not* been reinstalled. (I'd bet
whoever
upgraded you didn't think to copy over the /usr/local/ directory.) So
you probably will need to reinstall all your i-packages. How can you
tell? -- See if LyX works; if it doesn't, reinstall gwTeX, etc.
Other than that, you might have put your own TeX-related files in
~/Library/texmf/. If so, make sure those got transferred over.

I'll let others answer that.
