DNS issues resolved (users should receive the list messages now)
I just heard from our admin that: the DNS problems are resolved, and hence the posts to the lists should reach all subscribers. If anybody still has a problem, let me know. For a while, there might be a problem since DNS servers cache old data, but either wait a week, or ask the ISP to flush the cache (at least the part regarding the memphis.edu domain). Scott

Unable to find class files
I had a working installation of LyX under FreeBSD, but at some point fairly recently (I'm not sure the exact circumstances), my LyX installation can't produce PDF files anymore because (almost) all document classes are marked unavailable. Googling has been no help - the common recommendations of running (from LyX) "Tools => Reconfigure" and (from the command line) "fmtutil-sys --all" have not solved the problem. The document that I am currently working on uses the "article" class, and under /usr/local/share/texmf-dist/tex/latex/base there is a file "article.cls" (among other *.cls files). I'm at a loss. Can anyone shed light on what might be wrong? (I've already posted this to a FreeBSD mailing list without success so far.) -- Will
