Background
General information about the TeX
software available on DVD is available separately.
As of 2024, TUG no longer distributes a
DVD as a membership benefit. Our information is that
nowadays the vast majority of members have sufficient bandwidth to
access downloads. Therefore producing the DVD as a large
bulk worldwide mailing doesn't seem the best use of TUG's
resources.
Nonetheless, we realize that some users still need a DVD
of TeX software. If you can burn DVDs yourself, or want the
ISO images as electronic files instead of physical discs,
see the image links on the general DVD
software page.
DVD request form
To request that a DVD be burned and mailed to you, by
one of the volunteers fulfilling these requests, please fill out the
form below. The volunteer will contact you for your full mailing address
and to arrange for any needed reimbursement to cover the fees (cost of
the DVD and mailing).
While we do our best to connect all requests with
volunteers, that's all we can do here. TUG does not burn
DVDs itself. Any issues are between you and the volunteer,
so we must give the caveat: use at your own risk!
The form asks you to specify which of the components you need.
In the past, a single DVD (the “TeX Collection”) was
created with all four components, but as of 2024, this was no longer
possible: the combined size exceeds the capacity of one disc.
If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to email us. Thanks for your interest in
TeX.
