Upgrading to the newest release of both works fine here. Running 10.2.3=20=
on a 600 MHz iBook, 384M RAM. Most (La)TeX projects here use TeX4ht=20
and get published as PDF and HTML, but not doing anything fancy.

TeX is nearing a new major release. Part of this release will be pdfTeX
1.10a (now at release candidate 3). Given the advanced state of the
current developments, I think it would be good if this software saw
some more widespread use (and testing) (especially in the Mac OS X
community) before it is finalized.
Hence, I have updated the "TeX Programs (Experimental)" i-Package. Use
your i-Installer to download and install. An up to date TeX Foundation
is probably a good idea (works with all program releases afaik).
Happy Holidays all,
G

Feliz Navidad,
My installation consists of non-experimental texbinaries, texconfigure,
texmf, cm-super, freetype2, ghostscript-7, ii2, ImageMagick, latex2rtf,
rtf2latex2e, and tex4ht. Everything is working very well. But I usually
change with the times and stay current.
Several days ago an announcement about a new installer said things were
being switched between the foundation and programs packages. Even tho
the things are in different packages are they being installed in the
same locations? Is there a need to uninstall everything and reinstall
to keep from having duplicates? I have used sun/solaris systems in the
past where the admin had all kinds of duplicates of various
applications, such a version of gcc and so on. I don't have enough disk
space to do that with TeX. Any suggestions are welcome.
Just a little confused. Thanks for your tolerance.
Thanks.
BK
