texlive install: minimal version
I tried to install a smaller version of texlive on a linux mint system.
the following packages are sufficient for my needs (math+science orientied):
texlive texlive-base texlive-fonts-recommended texlive-generic-recommended texlive-generic-extra texlive-lang-english texlive-latex-base texlive-latex-recommended texlive-math-extra
Furthermore, I will need the following packages at some point:
texlive-lang-german latex-beamer texlive-latex-extra texlive-pstricks
