If it would have any negative >consequences for them, then it sounds like a Bad Idea [tm]. You misunderstood. I mean't no changes to the Doc Project. This, if I do it, would be for my benefit only. If others are interested, I would be willing to document the steps. Doing this would be a major pain in the backside and only of value to those who know and use TeX for other things, but would also like to explore the Doc Project without dropping ~85MB onto their disk. I think I expressed myself poorly im my earlier mail and should have kept my mouth shut.
