However, apparently tikz cannot be installed automatically by the zenwalk package manager (netpkg), >and so I have to do it by hand. However, I am
relatively new to linux, and am having difficulty doing this.<br>><br>>I am running tetex on zenwalk. Should I persevere, or should I switch to texlive, or should I just ditch the whole operating system and start again with something like ubuntu, which I hear >is a little easier to use for linux newbies?<br>><br>>Thanks,<br>>Santo<br>><br>>Santo D'Agostino<br>>Mathematics Department<br>>Brock University<br><br>I second what Zdenek suggested. Changing the operating system/distro just because of that issue you encountered would be a real overkill. And installing TeXLive from a DVD (or netinstall) has another benefit: TeXLive package manager (tlmgr), which you don't get when installing from distro's repos.<br></div></div>
