d:/texmf-var/fonts/cache

I guess I could try to copy the texmf.cnf file to "C:\Documents and 
Settings\local-user\.tlportable2008\texmf-var\web2c" and there change 
both variables, but I'm afraid that mktexlsr only tries to write d: 
(with no success).

How can I fix this? (I don't have administrator rights on this computer.)

Thanks for your help,
