It's available from I understand that TeXLive might be the best TeX distribution out there today, but I'd really prefer to fix the up-to-date teTeX installation if at all possible. From what I gather, it's *mostly* working. pdflatex is fine, and in some cases xmltex -> dvipdfm is fine (some tests fail for some unexplained reason). The errors I'm seeing appear to be fundemental (i.e. fotex.xmt isn't loading properly with xmltex.tex). > This ISO image contains TeX setups for various Unix derivates (including > FreeBSD) and for Win*.

Once that's complete, I want to make a couple of ports for the FreeBSD Ports collection to solve this problem for FreeBSD users who tend to be running teTeX anyway. While TeXLive may be better, it's a rather big download (~270 MB), a snapshot of an ISO filesystem, and quite unlikey to become a FreeBSD port... Thanks for your recommendation, and I'm downloading the ISO file at the moment. It looks like it'll take 12 hours to download over a modem. :-S Z.
