   Feisty seems to have texlive in its repositories (apt-cache search

TeX Live 2005 and the Ubuntu 7.04 texlive-full are approximately
adequate to each other--I've heard of the difficulties in creating a
package from it, but have no idea of the differences between the two.
If it's important to you, there are two years of development between
them.

I've worked on putting together a set of instructions (and as much a
description of the process) for installing the TeX Live 2007 CD on
Ubuntu 7.04.  If you would like it, I would be more than happy to
forward it to you. The last thing I need to do is bounce it off the
powers that be to make sure that I'm not missing anything in creating
the TeX environment properly.
