Installed the 2010 MacTeX/TeXLive distribution when it was current, but didn't do much with it. I'm back at it, trying to learn to create the kinds of documents I need with LyX. A couple weeks ago I upgraded to the 2011 distribution. Inquiring as to whether I should get rid of the earlier version and if so how, I was referred to the MacTex page on uninstalling. </div><div><br></div><div>Pretty simple and straightforward: Just delete /usr/local/texlive/2010. However, it says the texmf-local folder should be retained. If that was in /usr/local/texlive/2010 it's gone and it's not in the 2011 tree. Could it be somewhere else?</div><div><br></div><div>Most likely if I have it it's empty. I've added nothing to the distribution since installing it. Should I create it? If so, where? </div><div><br></div>Thanks,<br><div>
