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
