Sorry, I guess I didn't make myself clear. I have *not* had this problem with the RPMs. I meant that this would be what I would have to do if I couldn't install an RPM of tetex at all (i.e. the current situation). By studying the patches in the spec file, I could probably figure out what needed to change in "texmf.cnf" without having to upgrade the binary, but I'd be bumbling through it, and if there's one thing I've learned about TeX, is to stick with the tetex RPM as much as possible, because if you don't know what you're doing (which I don't with TeX) you can easily end up with a broken TeX setup.
