Since you already have RedHat, I think, try installing the tetex*.rpm and see if that is what you want. It does include the tex command, man pages, faq's...here's the header from the RH 5.0 rpm: Name : tetex Distribution: Hurricane Version : 0.4pl8 Vendor: Red Hat Software Release : 9 Build Date: Wed Oct 22 15:36:05 1997 Install date: (not installed) Build Host: porky.redhat.com Group : Applications/Publishing/TeX Source RPM: tetex-0.4pl8-9.src.rpm Size : 27550400 Packager : Red Hat Software <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> URL : http://www.tug.org/teTeX/ Summary : TeX typesetting system and MetaFont font formatter Description : TeX formats a file of interspersed text and commands and outputs a typesetter independent file (called DVI, which is short for DeVice Independent). TeX capabilities and language are described in The TeXbook, by Knuth. I don't think Knuth is GPL, though. :-) On Sat, 19 Jun 1999, Michael B.
