This release matches the latest tetex-beta packages (20001218-3 or -4). This is the first experimental release. As the full texmf tree is quite big (>30MB), it's packaged in three parts, texmf-base, texmf-doc, and texmf-extra. After installing tetex-beta and texmf-base, you should have a functioning TeX setup. Add texmf-extra to get a complete TeX installation. There's an additional package: texmf-tiny, that provides a very small, but functional texmf tree. For a brief description of what these packages are and what they contain, see http://cygwin.com/packages/ . To update your installation, click on the ``Install Cygwin now'' link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. Then, run setup and answer all of the questions. You find the TeX packages in catagory `Text', and because this is an experimental release, you should select Exp(erimental) in order to get to see them. Note: * These packages depend on tetex-beta-20001218-4 for full operation. * If you install by hand, run /etc/postinstall/post-texmf.sh. * If you have MiKTeX or fpTeX installed, please be sure to remove any custom TEXINPUTS, MFINPUTS VARTEXFONTS etc. environment settings that contain DOS style paths. * TeX cannot handle spaces in file names. If your $HOME contains spaces, you may need to run tex from another cwd, eg, /tmp. * LaTeX cannot handle letters with accents in file names. If your $HOME contains spaces or non-ASCII characters, you may need to run latex from another cwd, eg, /tmp. See also: /usr/doc/Cygwin/texmf-20000804-2.README We do not allow downloads from sources.redhat.com (aka cygwin.com) due to bandwidth limitations. This means that you will need to find a mirror which has this update. In the US, ftp://mirrors.rcn.net/mirrors/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/ is a reliable high bandwidth connection. In Germany, ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/pc/gnuwin32/cygwin/mirrors/cygnus/ is usually pretty good. In the UK, http://programming.ccp14.ac.uk/ftp-mirror/programming/cygwin/pub/cygwin/ is usually up-to-date within 48 hours. If one of the above doesn't have the latest version of this package then you can either wait for the site to be updated or find another mirror. If you have questions or comments, please send them to the Cygwin mailing list at: cygwin AT cygwin DOT com . I would appreciate it if you would use this mailing list rather than emailing me directly. If you do email me directly, any answer will be sent to the mailing list: cygwin AT cygwin DOT com. *** CYGWIN-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO *** If you want to unsubscribe from the cygwin-announce mailing list, look at the "List-Unsubscribe: " tag in the email header of this message.
