Hi,
In
package=linux-tex
comment=TeX for Linux from Mainz
site=ftp.uni-mainz.de
remote_dir=/pub/Linux/packages/TeX
you find a *huge* TeX distribution for Linux. It is a very complete TeX
system, including amstex etc.
It consists of 8 disks. It's major problem is its installation. All files
reside in a src-directory and are symlinked into /usr/local/{bin,lib/tex,
lib/mf}.
Cheerio, Jan
