2  The TEX Live CD

We are pleased to include a licensed copy of the TEX Live CD as a supplement to each retail copy of TRUETEX. TEX Live is not a part of TRUETEX and is not required to run TRUETEX; you do not need to install the TEX Live disc (an enormous amount of software) if you just want the essential TEX and LATEX for Windows that TRUETEX provides.

TEX live contains macros, fonts, and documentation not included in TRUETEX, as well as ready-to-run TEX executables for Linux, UNIX, Macintosh, OS/2, DOS, and WIN32 based on the Web2c-7.3 GNU code. The TEX Live Guide is the essential documentation, which you may find in various languages and formats by consulting the file index.html in the root directory of the disc.
