Especially considering the fact that there is BasicTeX for OS X:

https://www.tug.org/mactex/morepackages.html

It shouldn't be too difficult to update install-tl.sh to add an option
to just install the packages making up BasicTeX, right? Such an option
would not only benefit Slackware, it may also be good for software which
uses TeX behind the scenes to produce pdf output, such as Pandoc.
(Pandoc actually makes an explicit effort to only use packages that are
installed with BasicTeX.)
