Re: live cd-with lilypond

[Rob Canning]

Hello,

We hope to include Lilypond in our debian based Puredyne distribution
https://code.goto10.org/projects/puredyne
but at the moment we have found that lilypond pulls texlive as a 
dependency, which is way too big for the CD ISO so when we release a 
live dvd version lilypond will be present for sure.
https://code.goto10.org/projects/puredyne/ticket/445

I use lilypond alot in my work so I will be chasing this one up.

Is there any way to run lilypond without texlive? or in a way that will 
make it less bloated for a live cd?

Cheers,

Rob
