Revision as of 10:11, 8 July 2006

The TeXlive Debian packages have been uploaded to unstable. [1]

Basically, after having purged any other TeX distrib such as tetex:

  apt-get remove --purge tetex-* texinfo

you just have to apt-get the packages as root:

  apt-get install texlive-context
  apt-get install texlive-pdfetex
  apt-get install texlive-metapost
  apt-get install lmodern

It may be of interest to get fonts as well:

  apt-get install texlive-fontsrecommended
  apt-get install cm-super

And to get back texinfo if needed:

  apt-get install texinfo
