Gerben has decided to end his formal on-line support for i-Installer,  
but it will remain available, and as an opensource app, could be  
worked on / improved depending on the needs and abilities of  
interested persons.

A bit earlier, I believe, Thomas Esser has announced that he will no  
longer work on tetex, so there's been something of a movement to  
TeXLive.

Work has been on-going by a lot of people to ensure a smooth  
transition and flexibility of choices and options, and things seem to  
be working out well. Look up the ``mactex'' distribution at:

for a bit of reassurance.
