TeXLive (TeXLive binaries, support files, TeX formats) This package contains the binaries, support files, TeX formats and packages, and other files required for the TeXLive TeX distribution. Included are input files for TeX, runtime configuration files, hyphenation tables, manpages, and the computer modern fonts. The resulting package is very large, and a lot of space is required during the build process, so you might want to consider defining an alternate location for TMP and OUTPUT if you have small /tmp partition. Note that this package is intended to completely replace (and then some) the tetex packages in Slackware, so you'll need to remove tetex and tetex-doc before installing TeXLive. Have a look at the texscythe package to see how the texmf tarball was created from the original download from upstream.
