Hi grml users,
especially on grml64 we are running out of space and I'm thinking about removing LaTeX from grml, which would save us 100MB of uncompressed space.
I'm talking about the following Debian packages:
| auctex catdvi ctioga dvipng gnuhtml2latex lacheck latex-beamer | latexmk latex-mk latextug latex-xcolor libkpathsea4 libtioga-ruby | libtioga-ruby1.8 pdfjam pgf preview-latex-style tetex-bin tex-common | texify texlive texlive-base texlive-base-bin texlive-common | texlive-doc-base texlive-extra-utils texlive-fonts-recommended | texlive-lang-german texlive-latex-base texlive-latex-recommended | texpower tth vim-latexsuite
I'd like to know *your* opinion on this issue, so please let us know your opinion through this poll:
Well, for me the choice is easy. Since I use grml mostly as an emergency boot system, I do not need LaTeX. And when I use grml as a regular working base, I can install LaTeX via some installation sources quite quickly.
Of course you can build a "grml-big" (grmbl :-)) version of grml with all those things some users would like to add to grml ;-). Or build a "personal grml" via web interface - the grml base plus checkboxes for umpty application packages :-)
