Well, I finally installed TeX Live manually on Ubuntu 8.10; I used the ISO image.<br>However, I had to add manually the bin path to my .bashrc, in order to access the files. Is this usual?<br><br>I haven't been able to update neither tlmgr nor TeX Live. <br>
<br>Any tips?<br><br>Thanks!<br><br clear="all">Nicolas Vaughan<br>

</div>I guess you are using<br>
TeX Live ___ 2 0 0 7 ___<br>
on Ubuntu, because that is what Debian ships.<br>

<br>
</div>No way. You have to wait for Debian (=me and Frank) to package TL2008<br>
for Debian and for Ubuntu to fetch it from Debian.<br>
<br>
Or you install TL2008 as normal user or root on your Ubuntu box and use<br>
it directly, and not via the Debian/Ubuntu packages.<br>
<br>
Best wishes<br>
