Re: [MiKTeX] MikTeX, Windows in a Parallels virtual machine on MacBook

[Shawn W. <SW...@me...>]

Actually, all you need to do is create an installation directory and FTP 
the packages from CTAN in the/pub/tex/systems/win32/miktex/tm/packages to 
that directory.

Unfortunately, I don't know the bare minimum packages, so I just slurped 
up everything.

Then I used the net installer from miktex.org and installed from a local 
repository, using the installation directory as the repository.


Thank you kindly,

Re: [MiKTeX] MikTeX,    Windows in a Parallels virtual machine on MacBook






That sounds as it might be achievable.  But is it possible to give some 
more detail?  One of the big advantages of MikTeX is that it may be 
configured to install any missing packages more or less on the fly. 
The basic question is then:  What is the minimum installation that can 
do that and how do you put it together?  I have only used "packaged" 
installations before (like the basic installation), and are fairly 
ignorant.
