Setup

TeXlive is contained in Debian. Just call

	aptitude update
	aptitude install texlive
        aptitude install lmodern texlive-context

Which will bring you: texlive-latex-recommended, texlive-fonts-recommended, texlive-context, texlive-latex-base, texlive-base. You can go on and install additional packages (like texlive-latex-extra) and additional languages (like texlive-lang-german) and additional documentation (like texlive-doc-en).

If you want to have a system closely mirroring a TeX Live DVD, you can install the texlive-full packages, which pulls in all packages.

	aptitude install texlive-full

The texlive-context package may be older then the context packages from Norbert Preining; see Debian_installation.

Fonts

It may be of interest to get fonts as well:

  apt-get install texlive-fonts-recommended cm-super

TeXinfo

And to get back texinfo if needed:

  apt-get install texinfo
