I agree.
Here I see that not only the language differentiation needs a decision
during installation; can a user (sysadm) say:
 - I want only HTMLs
 - I want only info
 - I need both
 - I want to change my mind, later.

(if we solve the language problem that I posted in another message, we
solve also this, and viceversa)

You're right. We'll make an arch-dependant mfbin/texbin and an
arch-independant mfbase/texbase (is this a good name?! We'll have to think
over the name) consisting of former mfbasfnt,mflib/textfm,texlib. 

(approx. file sizes now: mfbin: 400k, mflib: 40k, mfbasfnt: 250k,
                           texbin: 300k, texlib: 280k, textfm: 155k)

Bye

Dominik
