Or is there a realistic chance to have a "CTAN installer" so that teTeX would only provide binaries, basic packages and infrastructure? Are you interested in how we adapted teTeX (and tex-live, btw) to the Debian packaging system with individual packages adding themselves to the TEXMF trees? Regards, Frank -- Frank Küster Inst. f.
