New MiKTeX CD-R/DVD-R available soon

I am planning to make available the new MiKTeX CD-R/DVD-R next week. The CD-R will contain a snapshot of the MiKTeX package repository. The DVD-R contains a "live" MiKTeX system.

CD-R available again

The MiKTeX CD-R is available again. It contains a "live" MiKTeX system (as at 2/21/2006).

Some not so important packages had to be omitted from the distribution in order to make it fit on the CD-R.

ProTeXt

It seems that the current MiKTeX-CD got too big for this year's ProTeXt. Thomas Feuerstack asked me to free 50 MB. Impossible! I advised Thomas to create a non-"Live" version of ProTeXt: the CD then contains a snapshot of the current package repository. This approach has three drawbacks:

  • you cannot run MiKTeX from CD
  • the setup process takes longer (cabinet files have to be extracted)
  • you loose the ability to share MiKTeX in a network environment

I have uploaded a pretest version of the MiKTeX CD (ISO image):

The final version (available some time in July) will be the base for this year's ProTeXt.
