I just foolishly downloaded the 2005-11-16 linuxtex.zip minimal linux

indeed annoying (and depressing); it also means that you cannot copy an
old tree to a new linux installation (this is what i found out
recently); on windows, one does not have this problem (since it carries
previous versions of libraries); i don't know how sensitive macosx is
for updates
(maybe we should put a set of statically linked binaries someplace; a
kind of archive)
I will clearly need to update the linux machine in due course, but does
anyone (a) know if the binaries from the previous zip will work as a
stop-gap, and (b) happen to have a copy of the previous linuxtex.zip (or
the binaries from it) available for download?
yes, you can use the old binaries, no problem;
hm, a copy of previous binaries ... i can make a zip of an old tree
