Does Zenwalk have a TeX/LaTeX distribution?
I am interested in installing Zenwalk on my laptop as it seems a light download. But I have just one Q: Does it have a TeX or LaTeX distribution which comes with it?
The reason I'm asking is that I use LaTeX for my documentation work. So far I don't know where to find out the full list of packages in ZW.

It seems that Distrowatch is where the latest list of packages is kept - http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=zenwalk
They are also here: http://zenwalk.mirrors.tds.net/pub/l...kages/zenwalk/
To find the packages for any release, go to the download page and click the folder under the Packages heading. Zenwalk-x.x.iso is what you want - Zenwalk-Core-x.x.iso is a more minimal installation.
Although neither TeX, Tetex or Latex is listed, Zenwalk can use packages from Slackware, so you could grab them from a Slack repository (like linuxpackages.net) and install from there. It's also worth using the netpkg command as it may be on an official repository for Zenwalk somewhere.

or lunixpackages.net repository can just been added to /etc/netpkg.conf too...
(in [misc] part for example(don't create a new category, netpkg will just don't "see" it), like the zengamer's repository)

Hi,
could anybody help me finding the packages I need for a PDFLatex-System? I wasn't successful when I had a look at the mentioned sites.
EDIT: sorry, I found the solution by myself:
Needed packages: tetex and tetex-doc
The problem was that the latex-binary was not in the path. It is located in /usr/share/texmf/bin

I think I have a running LaTeX-System now. But it seems as if the german KOMA-Script isn't installed yet.
How can I add the koma-script?
EDIT: I must confess that I do not really understand the help-file: http://dante.ctan.org/CTAN/macros/la...pt/INSTALL.txt

Did you solve this? You can enhance your path in /etc/profile or create a symlink to e.g. /usr/local/bin.

hi.. i got installed lyx and tetex on my laptop. it seems to work fine. but i cannot get previews on xdvi, pdf, etc.
when i tried xdvi, i got this message:
xdvi-motif.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libXm.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
so i thought getting libXm from somewhere might solve the problem. i read in other thread that i could get this file from openmotif and installed that package. but i still get the same message saying that libXm.so.3 is missing.
do you guys have any idea what i can do to fix this problem?
many thanks. i don't know much about linux yet, so any help and tiny details are appreciated.
