LateX/TeX problems on slink. tex.fmt missing???

[Marko Cehaja <marko@magikomik.de>]

Does somebody know how to set up tex/latex system on slink?

While doing simple configurations I always get errors like
tex.fmt not found or latex.fmt not found.

So I can't convert *.tex files via latex nor use LyX.

I tried with FAQ suggestions to create tex.fmt and it didn't work. Who has 
experienced similar problem regarding the configuration of tex/latex on slink?

Please help it is very important for me to have running latex on my system.
