That's not easily possible, as far as I know.  However, the texmf-tiny
package (~1.8MB) is available as a minimal-download option.

If you keep having trouble with this, try using wget (now in contrib)
to download the files by hand.  Wget can continue downloading
partially downloaded files (-c switch).

Hmm, what does setup.exe do with partly downloaded tarballs?

Ah, good.

That's not good.  What is your $VARTEXFONTS set to?  Could you try:

       echo $VARTEXFONTS
       VARTEXFONTS=$HOME/texmf dvips -o x.ps sample2e.dvi

Yes, this should be ok; although unsetting it:

    unset TEXMFCNF

should also work.  Any other variables that get set by fpTeX?

Thanks for your report,
Jan.
