Very Computer

Hi all, I am trying to get a working*setup on my Linux box but I am not
having much luck so far.

I have tried NTeX 1.5.3 but it has nto been very easy so far.

Are there any other*sets out there that will work well (and be easy to setup)
on my Slackware 3.0 (ie. ELF) system???

I have heard of 'teTeX' is this any good?

I would really like to hear from anyone who has got a good*setup on their Linux box and how they did it?

Many thanks in advance,

Charlie Gamble.

I've also tried NTeX at first and wasn't impressed about it either.

That's the one I installed instead of NTeX and found it:

    -   Incredibly easy to install
    -   Worked immediately, even with the LaTeX2e documents I brought with
        me from work.

If you have a CD-ROM distribution of Slackware, it is probably on one of
the other CD-ROMs. Otherwise, you could also get it from one of the
archive sites (the CD-ROMs are just raw copies of the archive sites).

I'm surprised. When I installed it and did:

        find / -name 'latex*' -print

it didn't find anything, so no*executable, no latex.tex etc.
Perhaps something went wrong during installation of NTeX, because
the only things I could find after installing, were fonts, and
tex, but no LaTeX.

The antecedents in this thread have become a little muddled.
Are you refering to nTeX?

I just installed the August InfoMagic Slackware 2.3 set.
The relevant executable is 'virtex,' with links named 'tex'
and 'latex.'  According to the man page, virtex looks at argv[]
to determine what name was used to invoke it, and acts accordingly.
I managed to*the LaTeX2e release notes, as well as gentle.tex
out-of-the-box. I haven't really put it to the test yet, but I don't
expect any major problems.
