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, -- Daniel Pimentel (d4n1)
