Re: Unwanted texlive invasion

I'm attempting to remove texlive because it's existence makes it impossible

percentage of cygwinidos use teX stuff, but it MUST be a serious minority.
Could someone come up with a solvent for this teXSuperGlue?


something like this will build a batch file to remove all texlive* packages

$ cygcheck -cd | grep "texlive" | awk 'BEGIN { printf ("setup-x86.exe -q ")} {printf( "-x " $1 " ") }END { printf "\r\n pause "}' > remove-texlive.bat

use it in the same directory of setup-x86.exe (or setup-x86_64.exe)
