It is one the one hand a live dvd, but also one of the most complete TeX
systems. There are several differences between tetex and texlive,
especially wrt the granularity of packaging. See the discussion on
tetex-maint ML which I had with Frank Küster, maintainer of tetex. In
fact he asked me to file the ITP as we are working on this.
