Here's a clue. Gerben has a day job. He does i-Installer and he
answers queries for free. If he did not answer your questions to your
satisfaction, you could have
1. Offered to pay for his time
2. Tried to figure out why he didn't -- for instance, because what
you were asking for would have all sorts of unwanted consequences
that would lead to a a long-drawn and not very productive discussion,
as ended up happening.
Now for a bit of technical advice: if you want a TeX distro that can
live elsewhere, use the tetex package provided by Fink, which puts
all of its files on its own directory hierarchy /sw, which could be
placed on a different partition as you want.
