This is what I have: tetex-prosper-1.5-3.fc6 tetex-xdvi-3.0-32.fc6 tetex-dvips-3.0-32.fc6 tetex-fonts-3.0-32.fc6 tetex-latex-3.0-32.fc6 tetex-3.0-32.fc6 Do you have enough space on the disk? Are you running out of memory? Is the processor slow? (Although I used latex on a 300MHz pc with 6Gb disk and 64Mb of ram, in the days of yore of RH5.0, and before).
