Sorry for the long delay...

Test is running Windows 2000 Service Pack 2 and
dkms1301 is running Windows 2002 Service Pack 3.

On test the /usr/share/texmf/web2c directory contains 5.2 MB. On
dkms1301 this figure is 0.6 MB.

The new packages are the 2.0.2-1 ones, right? And tetex-bin-2.0.2-1
contains the symlink?

Hmmm... I seem to be missing 'clear', but the test installation is
missing that one too, and on that machine the installation works.

Looking at the script I can't seem to find where it creates the symlink.
Is this done via one of the texconfig calls?

Well, if all else fails, I will try that.  .-)
