One possible caveat for anyone switching to MacOS 10.4: If you plan to
use Apple's X server, make _sure_ you install it from the disk when
you initially install/upgrade the system; it is my impression that you
can no longer add X to an existing system (without re-installing from
scratch).

I actually can't verify this myself, as I have been switching back
from MacOS to a mix of OpenBSD and Linux, but I have a colleague with
a newer Mac laptop who has had this problem. Or, if I have been
misinformed, please let me know; I wouldn't normally post something
I've not verified, but since this is something you don't want to
discover later, I thought I should not remain silent.

   The "\table-of-contents-text, return" gives and Error:unknown command. 
   Just for the information.

   I'll upgrade to Tiger so that I can use the latest TeXmacs build.

   Thanks for your help.
