 <h3>Scheme 2:  tetex-base with TeX and LaTeX, tetex-extra with the rest</h3>
 
+tetex-base would contain all input files required to run TeX and
+LaTeX, and most of the LaTeX-add-on packages in tex/latex/ (see
+below).  This includes the PSNFSS system and Type1 fonts, the CM and
+EC fonts in Metafont format and, as far as available in teTeX, in
+Type1 format.  It does in principle not include other fonts, but
+exceptions may be made (see below).
 
+<h4>Details for the <kbd>tex/latex</kbd> directory</h4>
+
+In order to minimize the size of tetex-base, Ralf has suggested to
+check whether any of the large subdirectories in <kbd>tex/latex</kbd>
+can be excluded, because they are rarely used to build documentation.
+
+This is a list of subdirectories and their sizes in KBytes:
+
+<table <!-- border="" width="" -->>
+  <TR><TD align="" >custom-bib</TD><TD align="" >508 </TD></TR>
+  <TR><TD align="" >koma-script</TD><TD align="" >484 </TD></TR>
+  <TR><TD align="" >minitoc</TD><TD align="" >452 </TD></TR>
+  <TR><TD align="" >memoir</TD><TD align="" >300 </TD></TR>
+  <TR><TD align="" >jurabib</TD><TD align="" >300 </TD></TR>
+  <TR><TD align="" >ntgclass</TD><TD align="" >296 </TD></TR>
+  <TR><TD align="" >revtex4</TD><TD align="" >212 </TD></TR>
+  <TR><TD align="" >seminar</TD><TD align="" >184 </TD></TR>
+</table>
+
+On the other hand, this would mean that <kbd>tetex-base</kbd> would
+really only be useful as a build-dependency.  On the other hand,
+<kbd>tetex-base</kbd> with the complete LaTeX directory, excluding
+font support for <kbd>tetex-extra</kbd> fonts, could be the standard
+installation for most people that use LaTeX for their daily work.
+
+
+Furthermore, all files in <kbd>tex/latex</kbd> that are needed to use
+fonts that are not included will be moved to <kbd>tetex-extra</kbd>.
