\centerline{Getting started with te\TeX}

Here is what you need to do to use a minimal te\TeX:

Download the following from {\tt sunsite.informatik.rwth-aachen.de}:
the binaries {\tt i486-linux.tar.gz}, or {\tt i486-linuxaout.tar.gz},
the base files {\tt tetex-base.tar.gz} and {\tt latex-base.tar.gz}.


Next unzip and extract all the files using {\tt tar}.

Then add the directory with the binaries to your {\tt PATH} 
environmental variable.

Finally, run {\tt texhash} and {\tt texconfig}.

\bye
