You might try BasicTeX for the Mac. It's only 85.2MB. Disclaimer: I have the full MacTeX package installed, so I have no experience running Mnemosyne with BasicTeX. I see no reason it wouldn't work for what you need. Scroll to the end of this page:
http://www.tug.org/mactex/2009/morepackages.html "BasicTeX is a subset of TeX Live designed for easy download by users with limited download speed. The package is remarkably capable. It contains all of the standard tools needed to write TeX documents, including TeX, LaTeX, pdfTeX, MetaFont, dvips, ConTeXt, MetaPost, and XeTeX. It contains AMSTeX, the Latin Modern Fonts, the TeX Live Manager to add and update packages from TeX Live, and the new SyncTeX." Please let us know if this works for you. -- Rich On Fri, Feb 5, 2010 at 7:08 PM, Jonathan Blake <[email protected]> wrote: > On Fri, Feb 5, 2010 at 3:56 PM, Shay <[email protected]> wrote: > >> I'm totally new to the scene and am looking to use the mac version of >> the program.
