Howdy,

Do you mean the download? The download should be about 1.5GB, just a bit larger than MacTeX-2009 was. There is some additional documentation and some packages come and some go.

Remember that this is a pretest!!! You may run into a glitch or two. The first time I ran TeX Live Utility (almost?) all of the binaries were updated from the repository (yes, that can be done although it has never been done with a released MacTeX) even though they were up to date. I suspect it is a one time thing. Everything seems to work at this end.

Good Luck,
