TeX Live 2010 will support FreeBSD (i386 and amd64). It will work out of the box for FreeBSD 7 and 8. The TL development tree is frozen now and the release will be out during summer. If you can't wait, you can use TeX Live 2010 pretest, it's pretty stable and most likely identical to the release: http://tug.org/texlive/pretest.html If you need binaries for FreeBSD<=6, please visit these pages: http://anthesphoria.net/FreeBSD/TeXLive-Devel/bin-r19416/ (r19416 is TL2010 build). A reply to all people that wrote about how big TL is: TeX Live is a _distribution_, not a single piece of software. It has its own package manager, tlpkg. You can use it to remove anything you don't need after install. The TL installer supports installing various "schemes". If you need a minimal TeX, you can choose scheme "minimal", it's actually much smaller than teTeX. Please read TL Guide, it's very useful and can answer all your questions: http://www.tug.org/texlive/doc/texlive-en/ Best wishes, -- Nikola Lečić = Никола Лечић fingerprint : FEF3 66AF C90E EDC3 D878 7CDC 956D F4AB A377 1C9B ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
