Hello everyone,
I installed SliTaz 4.0 on an old Laptop with just 800Mhz and 128MB RAM (but formidable keyboard...) and it looks very nice, does not consume too much memory and works :) ! Thumbs up! Thank you very much!
The only thing is: at least for me, the get-texlive script which is contained in the get-texlive package in the repository is broken.
I do not know anything about the tazpkg format or the 'tazpkg pack' command and did not find information for the latter apart from the man page and a single forum post somewhere here.
But with a couple of small changes to the get-texlive script, I can use it now to install a working texlive base.
In order to get latex installed, you run with root privileges:
> ./get-texlive
Which downloads a basic texlive collection, installs it into a temporary folder, builds a package from it, installs the package as "texlive" and removes the temporary files.
Then install additional packages via the TexLive Manager, as an example 'wrapfig'
> tlmgr install wrapfig
and I image this could also work
> tlmgr install latex latex-recommended
BUT: Actually, before I noticed tlmgr I had already written an alternative script which you can also find attached to this post and which installs the texlive package with the basic collection as well as the latex, latex-recommended and mathextra packages - and some support for the German language (my mother tongue).
THEREFORE: I do not know wether
> tlmgr install latex latex-recommended
really works or wether the command should be slightly different. Anyway.
Maybe this is useful for someone else, too.
Have a nice day! And give your old computers some love! :)
Stegro
