> ====================
>
> How it has started
> ------------------
> The project started as I wanted to install the new LaTeX release 2005/12/01
> that was announced at 2006/04/27. However the files aren't packed in
> TDS format, ready for unpacking in the destination directory. And
> the documentation files were not yet generated or the provided
> PDF files are lacking of basic features such as bookmarks or link support.
> Thus this project has started. I thought it could be finished during
> the afternoon at the day of the announcement ...
>
> Goals of the project
> --------------------
> * From the sources a TDS compliant tree is constructed and populated.
> The zipped result is distributed.
> * All the documentation is generated from the sources. The PDF files
> are user friendly and provide navigational support with bookmarks
> and links.
> * The PDF files are post-processed to reduce the file size.
>
> Scope
> -----
> I don't have the time to assemble a TeX distribution with
> thousands of packages. Therefore I restricted me to the
> LaTeX base distribution and the required bundles.
> In the following I will use the term `module' for a package bundle.

Thanks for the upload. I apologize for the delay in installing.

LaTeX-tds – A structured copy of the LaTeX distribution
This bundle provides a set of zip file modules containing TDS-compliant trees for items of the LaTeX distribution (both the base system and required packages), together with ‘user-friendly’ documentation (PDF files with navigation support using bookmarks and links).
A further module (knuth) performs the same service for Knuth’s software distribution.
This bundle has been moved to the /obsolete branch of the archive as of April 2020 because the LaTeX files are now very much out of date.
