Hi Alan,
That's a great link of yours, thanks muchly - I certainly hadn't managed to 
stumble on to that in my various interweb searches. I'll hopefully give it a 
shot sometime this week and let you know how it works out - a little concerned 
about whether (or how) this will affect the OTA updates - but hey, if you don't 
buy a ticket, you don't win the raffle. And the possibility of a full LaTeX 
install on Ubuntu Touch is worth the ticket :-)
Cheers
Bry

  I remember some time back that there was mention of possible resizing of the 
rootfs in the future - is there any update on this? I only have 146 MB of my 
rootfs (/dev/loop0) available but 8GB of my userdata (/dev/mmcblk0p23) 
remaining - it would be great to resize that rootfs (possibly as an extra 
parameter in the  ubuntu-device-flash script!) to avail of all that /userdata 
space. 
 
 Bry,
 
 it is probably too clunky for your use case, but I've used a chroot on the 
user partition to install stuff (e.g. http://accu.org/index.php/journals/2158).
 
 I've not looked into it but maybe for your case you could use an unprivileged 
LXC container to install TeX Live - I'd be interested to know how well that 
works. 
 
 Alan
