Re: improving cm-super package
I'm a bit late, catching up on the mailing lists. So please excuse me if this
has already been solved.

While I don't care for tetex 2 right now (which was the second point mentioned
by Klaus), I do think that the point he raises above is relevant: the file from
where the fonts are taken is the biggest file that I have on my system.
Actually, the biggest that I had, since I deleted it, without any loss of
functionality.
Some postinst actions could be taken. And this would mean including cm-super on
a (customized) live CD much easier (due to space constraints). And also easier
on the low-end systems that I have here.
Thanks for considering this, Rogério.
