Not meaning to be excessively demanding but the purpose (or my
understanding of it) in providing the foreign arch binaries is so that a
full working TeX Live tree can be shared out via nfs/samba/etc to other
machines. If I run bin/win32/latex from the share on a windows machine,
where will it go for the texmf tree? Would there be a tree symlinked
together for sharing out or something else? eg
/srv/texlive/arch-os/texmf -> /usr/share/texmf
/srv/texlive/arch-os/texmf-dist -> /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist
Thanks
Gavin
