These FAQ wiki pages are in transition. The wiki was started in 2006 for the first release of the MacTeX (2005-2006) package. As of February 22, 2007, a new MacTeX-2007 package was released and the information on some of these wiki pages may not yet be uptodate for 2007.
These are the MacTeX FAQ wiki pages for the most Frequently asked Questions about the MacTeX Distribution and MacTeX Installer.
At the end of some of the Q&A posts on the FAQ pages there may be a signature in the form [~XY]
, where XY
are the intials of the contributors who posted answers to questions posed on Gary Gray's Mac-TeX Mailing List at Penn State University.
