so what would one have to do, to make it workable in a multi architecture 
environment. Is it possible to install it without having to install a lot 
of stuff at the end user, i.e. possible to install it such that the only 
thing the user has to do is to mount TL via Samba.

Everything else seemed to work fine, I was just missing a DVI-previewer.

But, then again, it is not that important. I don't think our LaTeX 
installation will be used that much, mounted via Samba. I was just 
woundering.
