Have you had a look at TeXLive? http://www.tug.org/texlive/ For FreeBSD that means downloading the iso, mounting it like this mount_cd9660 -o ro /dev/`mdconfig -a -t vnode -f /path/to/file.iso` /mount-point cd to the mount point and look out for script entitled install-tl.sh the script pretty well takes you through the installation Good luck! atb Glyn
