Install MikTeX (LaTeX)
Hi Feodor
Do you see any chance to include the "basic" MikTeX installation in the image? It's just under 500 MB when installed, but installation takes quite some time because there are so many smallish files. I could come up with an installation script which you'd only have to run on the virtual machine. Thaks for considering.
Cheers
Kirill

If you want a really easy solution: just download the portable script, extract it somewhere and put the subdir miktex/bin into PATH.
```
wget http://mirrors.ctan.org/systems/win32/miktex/setup/miktex-portable-2.9.5857.exe
7za x miktex-portable-2.9.5857.exe -oC:\miktex >NUL
set "PATH=%PATH%;c:\miktex\miktex\bin"
```

# Install miktex to get pdflatex, if we don't get it from the cache
