This is the last time you have to do this since NTeX 1.5 comes along with an installation script that can keep track of the versions of the installed packages, remove and update them. If you have NTeX 1.3 or newer you can skip this part and continue with `Basic Installation' If you used the Slackware installation script to install NTeX or you are using NTeX as part of Slackware you can remove the installed packages with cd /var/adm/packages removepkg nt?-* or with the pkgtool script of Slackware. You have to remove all the packages that start with ntb-, ntf-, ntm- and nts-. Before you remove these packages please check if the pattern nt?-* does match any other package not part of NTeX 1.2.1 or lower. In this case you should use a different pattern or pkgtool. As far as I know there are no packages in Slackware that do not belong to NTeX and match this pattern. If you did not use the Slackware installation script you should just remove the directory /usr/lib/texmf with rm -rf /usr/lib/texmf The rest of the programs - mainly binaries and manuals - will be overwritten during the installation of NTeX 1.5. Basic Installation ------------------ Before you can install the packages you have to install a basic setup for NTeX and the installation scripts. Please note that you cannot install the NTeX 1.5 packages (suffix .pkg) with tar. You need the installation scripts. Actually the .pkg files are tar archives containing gzipped tar archives for the installation directories. To do the basic installation from floppy disk insert ntex-b1 in drive A (/dev/fd0) or B (/dev/fd1) and type cd / mkdir /tmp/ntex1 mount -r -t msdos /dev/fd0 /tmp/ntex1 /tmp/ntex1/install.sh /tmp/ntex1 If you are using drive B you have to use /dev/fd1 instead. Of course you can also use another directory for /tmp/ntex1. If you want to install NTeX from a single directory that is mounted, copy all files on the disks in this directory, for instance /tmp/ntex and type /tmp/ntex/install.sh /tmp/ntex You can also install NTeX from the direcotry structure as it is provided (for instance by mounting it via NFS), by typing /tmp/ntex/ntex-b1/install.sh /tmp/ntex/ntex-b1 if the NTex direcotires are mounted at /tmp/ntex. install.sh will do the basic installation for you. However you have to provide some information. First you are asked to choose the directories where NTeX will be installed. These are eight directories: TEXMF: The directory for the fonts, macros, style files, etc. BINDIR: The directory for the binaries INFODIR: The directory for the texinfo .info files. MANDIR: The directory for the manuals SRCDIR: The directory for the sources DOCDIR: The directory for the documentation ELISPDIR: The directory for the elisp (emacs) programs (emacs' site-lisp directory). VARLIBDIR: The directory for the variable data, like the fonts created with MakeTeXPK INSTALLDIR: The directory for the installation scripts. If you have no special reason you should use the default values, that correspond to the Linux File System Standard. The default is: TEXMF: /usr/lib/texmf BINDIR: /usr/bin INFODIR: /usr/info MANDIR: /usr/man SRCDIR: /usr/src/ntex DOCDIR: /usr/doc/ntex ELISPDIR: /usr/lib/emacs/site-lisp VARLIBDIR: /var/lib/texmf INSTALLDIR: /var/adm/ntex If you want to use the TeX Directory Structure (TWG-TDS), choose TEXMF: /usr/lib/texmf BINDIR: /usr/lib/texmf/bin/i486-linuxaout INFODIR: /usr/lib/texmf/doc/info MANDIR: /usr/lib/texmf/doc/man SRCDIR: /usr/lib/texmf/source DOCDIR: /usr/lib/texmf/doc ELISPDIR: /usr/lib/texmf VARLIBDIR: /var/lib/texmf INSTALLDIR: /usr/lib/texmf/adm Another possibility would be TEXMF: /usr/local/lib/texmf BINDIR: /usr/local/bin INFODIR: /usr/local/info MANDIR: /usr/local/man SRCDIR: /usr/local/src/ntex DOCDIR: /usr/local/doc/ntex ELISPDIR: /usr/local/lib/emacs/site-lisp VARLIBDIR: /var/lib/texmf INSTALLDIR: /var/adm/ntex If you have installed NTeX 1.3 or newer you should choose the same paths as for this installation unless you want to have both versions installed. If you can't remember the paths, have a look at /etc/texmf.cnf. Note that ELISPDIR is introduced by NTeX 1.4. The directories for TEXMF, SRCDIR, DOCDIR, VARLIBDIR and INSTALLDIR should be empty and for NTeX usage only. If the directories do not exist, install.sh will create them. Once you have chosen the directories you cannot change them anymore unless you totally reinstall NTeX. After you have chosen the directories you have to set a default MFMODE for Metafont. This mode is used whenever there is no other mode specified. The default is cx for a HP Laserjet compatible 300dpi printer. A list of all possible mf modes could be found at the end of this file. When install.sh is finished, you have to unmount ntex1 with umount /tmp/ntex1 rm -rf /tmp/ntex1 if you are installing from floppy disc. Installing Packages ------------------- To install the NTeX packages go to the INSTALLDIR directory and call InstallNTeX. Then choose option "i" to install packages. First you are asked if you want to install from floppy or from a mounted directory. You can choose if you want to install from a single directory where all the packages are on one level or from a subdirectory tree. The second one may be helpful if you want to install via an NFS or from a CD ROM. In this case the installation program expects a directory containing the subdirectories ntex-b1, ntex-b2, etc. There is another option that allows you to install packages by thier name. If you choose this option you have to provide a directory where all the packages you want to install are found and the type the names of the packages. This option is especially helful if you only want to install a single package. You can also get a single package from a diskset without getting the rest of it and install it with this option. If you do not choose this option, you can select the disksets which you want to install. Afterwards you can select the single packages for installation. Finally, after the selection, the packages are installed. You can install more packages later with the same procedure. Each package has a status. The status is either required, recommended or optional. A package that is required has to be installed in order to run NTeX. A package that is recommended should be installed if you have no special reason not to instll it. A package that is optional should just be installed if you know that you need it. Note that you have to install more than one package for certain things. For instance, if you want to install JTeX you have to install ntb-jtex, ntm-jtex, ntf-jtex and ntf-wad or it will not work. Configuring NTeX ---------------- Before you can use NTeX you have to configure the packages. This is done by the "c" option of InstallNTeX. This calls a number of scripts that came along with the installed packages. You are asked to give some specific information about your Linux system and you have the possibility to set your printers and such like. You can always rerun the configuration, if you want to change something. If you have installed a new package you should always reconfigure NTeX. Creating Fonts -------------- If you want to create pk files form the Metafont sources for your default printer you have to chose the "f" option of InstallNTeX. Note that you do not have to create any pk fonts, since MakeTeXPK is called whenever a pk file is missing. If you do not have enough disk space this might be the best solution for you. This slows down TeX in the beginning but you have only those pk files that you really need. In this case all pk files will be installed in $TEXMF/fonts/tmp/pk which is a symbolic link to $VARLIBDIR/fonts. If you want to create some of the pk files (you can never create all possible) for your default printer chosen with install.sh, call InstalllNTeX and select the "f" option. Now you can decide if you want to create the basic pk files for all installed fonts or just for some of them. If you only want to create some of t
