Greetings all,
By and by I've found that I am only using ConTeXt for my typesetting
needs. I am curious as to whether someone can advise me how best to
install a suitable yet minimal TeX installation: without LaTeX, etc.
I am currently using Gerben's very helpful i-Installer.
Perhaps it would vary too much between users to say definitively?
Such a distro exists for windows. Someone would have to take
responsibility for a Mac setup, and I suppose that's one reason why
Hans has not (yet) a similar package for Mac (or Linix)
a minimal is:
- the smallest complete context tree possible (lots of fonts)
- platform related binaries
(minimal trees can be used (and are faster than the distributed big
ones) and i myself prefer such small trees in server processes)
i do generate them for all platforms that i run into but i must admit
that i don't keep the mac binaries as up to date as needed; the reason
is that Gerben keeps his installer very up to date, so for the average
tex user on the mac a minimal tree is mainly a reference tree; the best
person to ask hwo to do a latexless install on the mac is Gerben
Hans
