This statement could be misunderstood. The individual texlive packages work pretty well for many use cases. I myself have been using them since they have become available and I have no problems formatting letters with g-brief, for example. Some package combinations might not work, but that=E2=80=99s not because on= ly the big =E2=80=9Ctexlive=E2=80=9D package is fully functional, but because = there are minor bugs in the configuration when using split packages that are exposed when certain packages are used. We should treat these bug reports on a case by case basis. There are no known big issues that need fixing with the individual packages. What should be done, though, is to provide a meta-package that installs most (if not all) of the individual packages for an experience similiar to that of having installed the big =E2=80=9Ctexlive=E2= =80=9D package =E2=80=94 only modular. @Alexandros: could you please show us the error message you get? The messages usually include the names of LaTeX packages that have not been found. -- Ricardo
