How > did other people make the transition? "Dr Strangelove, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying & Love the Bomb." I had been stalling the update of TeTeX. Then one day portmaster just did it for me, either indirectly or I did it myself. I might have uninstalled 1 to n ports manually. I had not used TeTeX in a long time personally, nor I have yet the chance (well, there was one but I used something else) to use TexLive personally. There have not been any problems with TexLive in relation to installation of other ports|packages. - parv --
