[OS X TeX] Recommendations for downloading LaTEX

[Claus Gerhardt]

Why would people want a mini tetex installation - because of the 
connect time? I would suggest to keep things as they are. The possible 
advantage - though I don't see any - would be exchanged with the hassle 
to install additional packages later, or even worse, with having a 
subpar tetex installation that occasionally  chokes, and the user 
doesn't know why and what to do for a remedy.
