OK, so I'm trying to install ProTeXt. Or in fact I only need LaTeX, but I understood that I then needed this huge package. Now, I happen to really have a strong dislike for Adobe's monstrously huge pdf-reader. I use FoxIt pdf-reader (http://www.foxitsoftware.com/downloads/), so why this weird requirement of commercial Adobe software I don't need?
Could someone tell me how to skip this nonsense and install without being force-fed a ridiculous Adobe Acrobat monster? It's bad enough that its footprint is the size of an entire CD (why, by the way? OpenOffice.org's full install is only 110 MB..) but I really refuse to install Adobe software in order to be able to start installation for LaTeX. And then to even have to join a mailinglist for just this 1 question. Geez. Sorry to have to say this, but some software developers clearly have their heads up their asses. Thanks. _______________________________________________ protext mailing list http://tug.org/protext/
