[OS X TeX] TeX based on TeX Live release

[Themis Matsoukas]

I post here my related experience:

Installation of TeXLive (i-installer) was straightfoward and  
everything run as it should. The only problem is that my mathtime  
fonts do not work becasue I don't know what is the proper place for  
them.
