Hi Francois,

    Well, I have written a shell script, based on install-pkg.sh that comes 
    with the live CD, to automate this task. 

Thank you for your efforts.  I know that some people do indeed want
updates as the year goes on, and I hope it'll be useful.

Does your script delete files that have been (re)moved?  At a glance, I
didn't see it.

As for bandwidth, updates via rsync to tug.org are certainly not a
long-term solution, but for the time being, I don't expect it will be a
problem.

Thanks,
Karl
