I've spent a few days working on texlive, I can install I have been working with LaTeX for almost 20 years hence I can confirm that it is very powerful. > it but it doesn't work. Does anyone know of a guide to installing Hum ! can you be more precise than "it does not work ?" In principal, the texlive installation is straight forward and it should work once you have installed it. Anyway it does not mean that you are able to write a correct LaTeX code but at least that the LaTeX compiler starts. Does it or not ? Learning the language itself is another problem but not covered by the question of the texlive installation. > texlive?

Indeed to install teTeX you have to compile the whole stuff. Moreover I would not recommend the use of teTeX since this system is no longer maintained by its developper precisely because of the presence of texlive who provides all the features previously provided by teTeX. Anyway I have installed several generations of LFS on my systems and texlives everywhere and it always works. Hence if you have a quite standard LFS, texlive should install and work on your system. Anyway if you encounter problems do not hesitate to send me a more precise description of the problems and I'll try to help you. If you think that this discussion does not have its place on the list feel free to send me a private message.
