Sebastian and Kaja,
here are a few comments on texlive-20000413.iso:
First of all, it installed smoothly and without any problems on my new
Linux box. I installed it as root and now run it as normal user.
o a minor point: The texmf-var/fonts area is write-protected, such that xdvi
cannot write its pk files there
o the same is true for the file texmf-var/ls-R, such that the scripts cannot
update this file
o a minor remark on the directory layout:
What is the rationale to have both texmf/doc/fonts and texmf/source/fonts
on the CD? The latter directory does not hold the sources (they are in
texmf/fonts/source instead) but additional documentation, too. I suggest
to unify texmf/doc/fonts and texmf/source/fonts in texmf/doc/fonts.
If you do not want to unify the directories, I think, that at least
the stuff in texmf/source/fonts/fc and texmf/source/fonts/ec should be moved
to texmf/doc/fonts/fc and texmf/doc/fonts/ec respectively.
