I expect that teTeX will be removed as soon as TeXLive is ported. IIRC, some people are working on that. A problem is that TeXLive has an interactive install script. I'm not sure how well that matches with ports. > (I use LaTeX for nearly everything: work, documentation, literature, > even for letters (dinbrief class), so I'm interested in this topic.) >=20 > Many thanks for pointing out how to get \LaTeX{} from TeXLive. Basic installation is very easy, just use the install script on the CD. If you have to build you own binaries (only i386 6.x binaries are supplied on the CD), it is somewhat more involved. Basically, you need to patch a makefile to remove some omega stuff that won't build. I have some notes from my last build that I could send you if you like. If more people are interested I could post them on the list.
