Install teTeX off of sunsite under /pub/Linux/apps/tex/teTeX. It works great and installation is pretty straight-forward. Its not a debian package, but it includes all of the latest binaries to use latex (xdvi, dvips, latex, etc..) > When I try to run latex it just complains that it can't find the default > format files (or something).

Seems that it complains that the currently installed version is "out of date - get the latest latex distribution from xxx.xxx.xxx" and fails to make several .cfg files (namely, default.cfg) -J. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
