Wow. It's 1.3GB installed.
Yeah. I don't know how large the previous version was.
You said you hit ^C after waiting 44 minutes for installpkg... if you have a slow CPU and/or not much RAM, it makes sense it'd take forever to install... it might also be the case that it runs too slow to be useful, once you get it installed (I don't know much about tex or texlive though).
Linux salmo 3.10.17-smp #1 SMP Wed Oct 23 17:04:08 CDT 2013 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) II X2 255 Processor AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux 4G RAM. It's slower than more modern hardware but not sufficiently slow to take this long to install. I use LaTeX for 95% or more of my writing. It's also used to print checks and reports from my business accounting software. And, there are other applicatoins I use that typeset output using LaTeX. So, I need to successfully install texlive20130530 ASAP. Thanks, Rich -- Richard B. Shepard, Ph.D. | Have knowledge, will travel.
