I'm use latex in some presentation and academic area. But there're some 
much dependencies in Texlive, I have install it but your size is bigger 
(2gb+-), the texlive-small is a great idea. Usualy I'm use pdflatex and 
bibtex to some references, I like bemmer too.
There're a lout package, is smallest that livetext, but there're some 
much papers in academic that use latex :(
I use lout in some presentation and other.
Thanks,
