Hi Reinhard,

I followed all this advise but could not get it to run.  In the end
used "prm" and I removed the complete tetex installation from my
SuSE Linux.

Then I took the TEX COLLECTION CD and installed a default system.

Now I compiled pdftex again aid copied pdftex, pdfetex, and both
.pool files over to their destination - simply overwriting the
files that came with on the CD.

So now I have 11b instead of 11a.

When now running "texconfig init" I get an impressive number of
output lines, no errors until at the very end:

install_link failed for /usr/TeX/bin/i386-linux/mf. File already exists.

I guess, I can ignore this error, right?  I have this file:

- -rwxr-xr-x   1 (...) 233932 2003-09-22 00:52 /usr/TeX/bin/i386-linux/mf



Besides from this, I suppose my setup is still incomplete, because
I could not test this file:
- ------------------------------------------------------
\font\f=cmr10
\pdffontexpand\f 20 20 5 autoexpand

Lore ipsum ...
\bye
- ------------------------------------------------------

Running pdftex on it I get this:
- ------------------------------------------------------

That's the sample from Thanh's mail:
http://www.tug.org/pipermail/pdftex/2004-May/004965.html

Might it be that it can not run with version 11b but I should
rather get this?  http://vntex.sourceforge.net/private/thanh/pdftex/
