Referring to the path problem, I went through all kinds of set PATH gyrations and modifications to /etc/profile but with no success. So finally I copied the two necessary pool files up to /usr/local/tex and ran through the cycle once again. That worked, but it is obviously a crude kludge and not a correct solution. I will at some point write a list of what I had to do to make the minimal Linux-TeX package work and submit it to Hans as a howto and/or a todo list. Anyhow it works currently and the infamous hyphenation problem is no more. -- John Culleton _______________________________________________ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
