Thanks, Peter and Gerben. I finally edited the paths by hand, since I 
prefer not to mess around with removing files from the standard 
distribution.

But is this what one is expected to do? I thought part of the point of the 
i-Packages was to have paths that worked out of the box. It might be a good 
idea to add CLI activation options to packages such as LCDF and the various 
others that land in /usr/local/bin

Also, it seems to me that one cannot select to activate CLI interface for 
TeX without going through a full expert install. (Ie, I can't just select 
it on top of my full install). Is this what's intended?

Thanks in any case for your time.
