CD-ROM distribution
-------------------

  Numerous organizations distribute various TeX CD-ROM's:

   * TUG, UK TUG, and GUTenberg (French-speaking TeX user group)
     collaborated to produce the `TeX Live' CD-ROM, based on teTeX,
     which in turn is based on Web2c; email <tex-live@mail.tug.org> or
     see <http://www.tug.org/tex-live.html>.

   * Dante (the German-speaking TeX user group) has produced a CD-ROM.
     See <http://www.dante.de/dante/DANTE-CTAN-CD-ROM.html>, and
     <http://www.dante.de/tex-informationen/CD-ROMs.html> for
     information about TeX CD's in general.  Both are in German.

   * The Free Software Foundation's `Source Code CD-ROM' contains the
     minimal TeX source distribution described in the previous section
     (i.e., enough to print GNU documentation); email
     <gnu@prep.ai.mit.edu>.

   * The Gateway! CD-ROM set contains a runnable NetBSD/Amiga
     distribution and sources; see
     <http://www.netbsd.org/Sites/cdroms.html>.

   * The InfoMagic CD-ROM is a copy of CTAN (see previous section); see
     <http://www.infomagic.com>.

   * NTG (Dutch-speaking TeX user group) produced the 4allTeX CD-ROM;
     email <ntg@nic.surfnet.nl>, or see <http://www.ntg.nl/4allcd/>.
     This is a runnable system.

   * The Prime Time TeXcetera CD-ROM is also a copy of CTAN; email
     <ptf@ctcl.com> or see <http://www.ptf.com/ptf/>.

   * Walnut Creek's TeX CD-ROM is also a copy of CTAN; email
     <info@cdrom.com> or see <http://www.cdrom.com:/titles/tex.html>.

   * Most Linux distributions include some TeX package based on Web2c;
     see the Linux documentation file `Distribution-HOWTO' for a
     comparison of Linux distributions, available (for example) via
     <http://www.linux.org>.

  If you know of additional TeX CD-ROM distributions to add to this
list, please inform <tex-k@mail.tug.org>.
