Yep, I've compiled it (it does work pretty much everything out itself) 
and have come up with a set... I just waiting until I can format enough 
floppies on the PCs in here to transfer it (4 computers at once at 3am 
job, I think :-)). It needs 11 floppies.

It also shoves all its files in /usr/local/lib/teTeX, so I've put a 
script in to create the links (since you can't do ln -s 
/usr/local/teTeX/bin/*/* /usr/local/bin/ in a tar file :-)). I hope thats 
the right way to do it...

I haven't actually tried using it yet, though, but tex does at least 
start up correctly...
