I have not yet worked out the dependencies yet. I am merely preempting what I need to do. I am trying to get a basic system + xetex, so that there is no need to mess around with this, however its not as easy as it first sounds. I spent about 3 days writing python scripts to separate the trees for me and it seems to work, but I am having to modify what texlive would distribute, because the full distro is too big. Hard to explain. If you were closer home I would suggest a meeting to hack this out, however .de isn't close. Is 150 (ish) MB too big for a "base" install? This is the easy option (in theory) , i havent yet tested this because I assumed it is too big. This texmf subset is called scheme-medium, in tex terms, however it does not include xetex, and therefore introduces the config file problems (ie i cannot overwrite already installed files, as ports will moan). What do you think? Is that too large? PS. Are you at ccc in berlin this year? -- Best Regards Edd --------------------------------------------------- http://students.dec.bournemouth.ac.uk/ebarrett
