Dear gang,
I am now on WinXP now (up from W2000) and only use mswincontext.zip for my
TeX'ing needs. However, I need to
install LaTeX for legacy purposes (mainly Lambda/Aleph critical edition
stuff). fpTeX is gone, I can't find
XemTeX (broken link
https://xemtex.groups.foundry.supelec.fr/downloads/xemtex-0.5-rc0.msi ) so I
guess that
leaves MiKTeX.
Any advice on choosing/installing a minimal LaTeX distribution? Updated links?
Sorry for the sacrilege-)
Best
Idris

I heard the best choice would be proTeXt (also on TeXlive DVD), that
installs an adapted edition of MikTeX.

no google over there ? google for 'xemtex' and 'download' and you get:

just copy the complete (tex live) texmf tree over your minimal context
texmf tree (context is in texmf-local so it's safe)

Silly me-) and even more so when you consider that the third entry on
google is an email I wrote to Fabrice-)

Sounds very scary but I'll trust you-)
