As a live CD I have no problem with removing LaTeX as I normally use it as a rescue system. When I normally need LaTeX I will be using a HD installation (whatever distro it happens to be) and so LaTeX can be installed easily from a package repository if not available.
For the few times where LaTeX may be needed on a live CD I guess it wouldn't be too difficult to create a modified version (although I haven't actually tried making a modified iso).

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:
