Hi,

I installed TeXlive (replaced teTeX) and am having problems with  
pdflatex. I cannot figure out how to set the paper size. I found  
something on the web about editting pdftexconfig.tex (which I did) but  
it had no effect ('ll attach it below).

I am running on a Mac (TeXlive) under OS/X 1.5.4. dvips and dvipdf are  
working fine, so the texconfig command did what it should there. I  
installed the software using MacPorts.

pdfTeX 3.141592-1.40.3-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.6)


Thanks, DL
