I am also curious about this one. Any guideline or special considerations regarding the use of the Tex Live distribution straight into FreeBSD would be very helpful. Or is it just a matter of following this: http://www.tug.org/texlive/quickinstall.html While previous texlive-full port seemed to work fine. I haven't been able to install it on new machines as it seems something is wrong with japanese/tex-ptex not able to figure out where kpathsea and zlib are, or something like that. It feels that it is stuck in some sort of transition between few ports to many ports to provide Tex Live in the Collection (speculating...). Any feedback on this would be appreciated! a.
