I believe the latest TexLive (2008) has a package manager. However, many Linux distribution (like (K)Ubuntu) are still stuck withTexLive 2007---hence no package manager. One option is to download the TexLive 2008 DVD and install it manually. Another option is to wait for the next version of (K)Ubuntu which should have TeXLive 2008. See here for TeXlive package manager and various caveats: http://www.tug.org/texlive/tlmgr.html the DVD download canbe reached from here: http://www.tug.org/texlive/index.html Cheers, S. ______________________________________________________________ Stefano Franchi Department of Philosophy Ph: (979) 862-2211 Texas A&M University Fax: (979) 845-0458 305B Bolton Hall fran...@philosophy.tamu.edu College Station, TX 77843-4237
