[texhax] MacTeX Extras

[Susan Kayser]

Hi:

I’ve just updated my TeX distribution, and I’m wondering about MacTeX Extras. Do I need them, or are they included in the big distribution? If they are indeed extra, how do I install them and use them? For that matter, how do I know if I need them? I am a  LaTeX user, but not deeply familiar with the TeX installation.

It would be helpful if this was included in the FAQ.

Sincerely,
Susan Kayser
