Revision as of 12:31, 1 September 2005
In the section entitled Install the zip archive towards the end of the page, the line
cp -a /root/.texmf-var/web2c/* /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-var/web2c
contains the hard-coded path /root/.texmf-var/web2c which is not explained. Could you clarify where I should be looking for the .texm-var/web2c folder and its contents please?
Thanks.

- I didn't read that section on the page, but on OS X for example, root's home is at /var/root (which is not really relevant, since on OS X nobody ever uses that) --pg
