This is the default mode in the distribution. I will change it to 755

Well, this is the TeX port, not the latex or bibtex port :-). I can
delete the bibtex binary, but then it will not be possible to add
a bibtex port.
Are you willing to do a bibtex port? (we only need to fetch the
various support files and install them properly) It is not difficult!
> * no pk fonts at all
This is normal. Pk fonts are device dependent. We can't supply fonts
for every printer/display on earth! You have to choose a device when
installing xdvi or dvips. Pks are then built when required.

The default is to generate them in /tmp. You can choose an alternate
location when configuring dvips/xdvi. Otherwise, you have to let
/usr/local/lib/texmf/fonts/pk writable by everyone. The best is to
add the following code in your /etc/daily:
if [ -d /tmp/pk ]; then
echo -n "Moving pkfonts"
for f in /tmp/pk/*pk; do
if [ -f $f ]; then
mv $f /usr/local/lib/texmf/fonts/pk/
fi
done
fi
Thanks for your feedback.
Jean-Marc.
