Lightweight LaTeX installation for Mac OS X
You probably think the 1.2 GB package of the default MacTeX-Distribution is overkill. In my opinion, that is really a bit of a problem on mobile devices such as Macbooks, especially if you're using several operating systems. I show you a simple and effective way to install a basic MacTeX-Distribution on Mac OS X and how you can organize and add your individual necessary packages you need extra. I'm personally in a way a minimalist and don't use so many packages, maybe you too?

Amen. Saved me a gigabyte or so.
