I think you're wise to. I use teTeX and it's got most things.

Check out beamer once you've installed teTeX: /usr/local/share/texmf-dist/doc/latex/beamer/beameruserguide.pdf There are also some examples installed: /usr/local/share/texmf-dist/doc/latex/beamer/examples/ > Maybe I'll even give TeXlive a shot, but I got used to the ports system > and feel that it is rather time consuming to maintain software that has > been installed manually. TeXlive will eventually be ported but for the moment you're better off with teTeX in ports, it works fine. BTW, the best place to get your LaTeX/TeX questions answered is comp.text.tex on Usenet. > > Thank you for your insights, > Christian > -- Frank Contact info: http://www.esperance-linux.co.uk/misc/contact.html
