I have corrected the scripts which build ISO images, and the install
script, hopefully fixing all the problems Norbert found.
I have also killed the collection tex-psfonts and created a new
tex-fontsrecommended. From the old tex-psfonts I have moved cm-super and
a few others to tex-fontsextra, and the latter is excluded from the demo
CD.
With these changes, the difference between the demo version and the full
version is that the collections
tex-fontsextra
tex-music
tex-langcjk
are excluded.
according to my test, this gives a demo CD of 620 megabytes, and the
source tree is _not_ compressed any more.
I suggest that interested parties review tex-fontsextra and decide
whether anything there is really of widespread interest. If so, move it
back to tex-fontsrecommended. If there is no interest in any of them
moving, we can reinstate the music collection.
This *does* mean that cm-super is excluded. My own view is that the new
lmfont setup should be widely publicized, and people should be
encouraged to switch to it.
