Then there are the dependencies, but compared to the actaul texlive packages, those are small. What are these 100's of MB? Fonts, stylesheets, that sort of thing, mostly, and I believe theyare architecture-independent. Shame that the actual binaries aren't in some particular package, "texlive-arch". Yeah, the first one was for i386/4.6; tonight we do amd64, I might have the source for this around here somewhere, I built it from source under 4.2, I think. TeX doesn't change too rapidly. >> One other webcomment was one of those @#...@# terse, clever tweet-style >> snarky unhelps which said >> >> pkg_add -F conflicts name-of-package >> >> and nothing else.

Bottom line, so far: interrupted pkg_add must be restarted from scratch. Note for the archives: if the pkg_add has gotten and installed dependencies before being interrupted, those don't have to be redone. Thanks, Bob.
