View source for Talk:TeTeX 3.0 installation

In the section entitled ''Install the zip archive'' towards the end of the page, the line

<code>
cp -a /root/.texmf-var/web2c/* /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-var/web2c
</code>

contains the hard-coded path <tt>/root/.texmf-var/web2c</tt> which is not explained. Could
you clarify where I should be looking for the <tt>.texm-var/web2c</tt> folder and its contents
please?

Thanks.

== lmodern in debian ==

Hi David,

Can you check the version number of latin modern in Debian please?
It has to be '''precisely''' 0.89.3, or some ConTeXt documents will come out wrong. 
The cont-lmt.zip is separate because the font is not updated as frequently as 
cont-tmf.zip, but they really are tied together quite closely.

dpkg -l lmodern gives
lmodern        0.92-7         scalable PostScript fonts for european chara

Could you, please, give me one or two ConTeXt documents that may come out wrong ?

Never mind, I checked and the newer version should be ok. Hans will switch the main distriution over to 0.92 for the next release as well, and that won't take longer than a week or so anyway. --[[User:Taco|Taco]] 15:31, 12 Sep 2005 (UTC)

== Wrong path? ==
Hi, in the "code" section
 # cp -f build/tex/web2c/pdftex `which pdftex`
 # cp -f build/texk/web2c/pdfetex `which pdfetex`
 # cd build/tex/web2c
 # cp -f pdftex.pool pdfetex.pool /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/web2c
 # fmtutil-sys --refresh
I think that in line 1 it should be build/'''texk'''/web2c/pdftex ...
...at least I couldn't find any directory named "tex".

And then I would like to thank the authors of this page for saving my life with these simple and streightforward instructions on installing this, well, complicated software!
