I considered it broken because the stable distribution does not contain all that is needed for that purpose (debian doesn't even have a gsftopk package). teTeX works ``out-of-the-box''. I, for one, would prefer a large but nicely put-together and hassle-free distribution than the current debian LaTeX system. I am not saying the current system is bad. There are just a few rough corners. I would consider packaging teTeX myself if I am not moving out of the country in less than a month. -- Billy C.-M. Chow [EMAIL PROTECTED] Debian Linux
