[Fedora TeX Live] Preview.sty file?

[Rudi Gaelzer]

Oh, I forgot to mention.  The preview function resumed its normal
function in F17 after the subsequent reboot.  I don't know why it
didn't work the first time around, though...
Anyway, it's working now, although I'm still getting it from the
fedora repository.

Cheers.
