I'm trying to install tetex and tetex-texmf which require massive  
downloads (dialup).

Therefore I would like to use a separate download manager for the  
source packages. The Fink FAQ gives instructions on locating the  
packages on the Internet, and then moving the downloaded packages to / 
sw/src where they will be picked up on a fink install.

However, I have been unable to determine the specific source file name 
(s) making up a fink (source) package. The FAQ seems to think that  
one already knows the file name. Google searches don't turn up exact  
matching filenames with version numbers. Also the files found by  
Google don't seem to match the size of the downloads that the fink  
install is attemtping.

The two URLs in the Fink FAQ where supposedly these packages are  
stored do not work:

http://distfiles.master.finkmirrors.net/

http://us.dl.sourceforge.net/fink/direct_download/source/

Do the fink "info" files apply only to the binaries? And the "deb"  
files apply to the source?

Thanks

Alan J. Robinson
