I understand that the "system-something" means that it is already installed.
I didn't try to install tetex.  It was installed by fink to satisfy some
dependency, but it didn't work.  As far as I know, I haven't tried to change
any of the default settings as I don't know enough about how they work to
make an educated guess as to what to do next.
Any additional help on this matter would be appreciated.
Thanks
Jeremy
