[OS X TeX] getting MacOSX-Tex

[Richard Koch]

Frederick,

If you installed everything (rather than doing a custom install),
go to /Applications/TeX. There you'll find a READ ME telling you how
to get started with TeX, a couple of GUI interfaces to TeX, and a
What's Installed document telling you exactly what was installed
and where.

TeX itself is in /usr/local/texlive/2011. The link /usr/texbin points to
the TeX binaries.
