Instead, you can -override the supplied version of LaTeX very easily by creating a new -folder called something like "mylatex" and then adding a line like this -in the OzTeX-only section of your Local config file: - - input_folders = hd:mylatex:* $c - -This tells OzTeX to search your folder before the supplied folders. - - -UNPACKING THE DISTRIBUTION -========================== - -To unpack the LaTeX distribution: - - * Put the files downloaded from tex-archive/macros/latex/base into - a base subfolder inside your new LaTeX folder. - - * Start up OzTeX. - - * Select "TeX..." from the TeX menu and use the open dialog to find - unpack.ins in the base folder, but do NOT open the file. Instead, - select Cancel. This sets OzTeX's current folder. - - * Select INITEX from the TeX menu. - - * Type "unpack.ins" in response to the ** prompt and hit Return. - This will start the unpacking process -- it shouldn't take too long. - -If you also downloaded new versions of tools, graphics, psnfss, etc., -you can easily unpack the various *.ins files by ticking the LaTeX -format in the TeX menu and simply dropping a .ins file onto the -OzTeX application. - - -CREATING THE LATEX FORMAT -========================= - -To create a new LaTeX format: - - * Select INITEX from the TeX menu. - - * Type "latex.ltx" in response to the ** prompt and hit Return. - - * After a short while you will be asked to save the LaTeX format. - Save it as latex.fmt in a suitable location inside your new LaTeX - folder and make sure OzTeX searches that location before the Default - format folder by adding a line like this in your Local file: - - format_folders = hd:mylatex:formats: $c - -You might discover at a later date that one or more TeX parameters need -to be increased to typeset your documents. If so, make the parameter -changes in your Local file. Depending on which parameters (see the notes -in the Default file) you might also need to build a new format file. - - -CHECKING THAT THE INSTALLATION WORKED -===================================== - -To check that the installation worked: - - * Move the file ltxcheck.ltx out of the base folder. - (It doesn't matter where you move it, just so long as it is not in the - same folder as the file article.cls. If this file is in the same - folder then LaTeX will definitely be able to read it and so cannot check - if it is possible to read files that are NOT in the current folder.) - - * Tick the LaTeX format in the TeX menu. - - * Drop the ltxcheck.ltx file onto the OzTeX application. - This will run a test of the LaTeX installation, and should produce "OK!" - to a number of tests. If it does not, see PROBLEMS in install.txt. - - * Delete the .log and .aux files created (and move ltxcheck.ltx back to - the base folder if you like). - -You have now installed LaTeX. - - -REMOVING UNNECESSARY FILES -========================== - -After LaTeX has been successfully installed, you might want to delete some -non-essential files to free up space on your hard disk.
