Thanks for the info. You're right, it doesn't work. The problem is
that kpsetool is in the tetex package, which would add 17MB to the
installed system. I didn't realize this when I installed xdvi, nor
did I realize that there was this dependency. Oops.
I'll send mail to Redhat and let them know about this dependency.
For now, I guess, use xdvi out of the sipb locker?
Sorry,
