Hi everybody,
Starting to try installing correctly tetex3 on ubuntu, I wanted to ask
tons of questions. While formatting this mail, I've succeed in
installing tetex3. Maybe what follows can be worth fore somebody more
noooobie than me (is that possible?), or for a pre-beginner doc.

Following http://wiki.contextgarden.net/TeTeX_3.0_installation
and beginning of http://tug.org/teTeX/tetex-src/QuickInstall, i've :

        dwld     * tetex-src.tar.gz & tetex-texmf.tar.gz
sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-dist

SHIT HAPPENS HERE : it's like i'm missing some basic commands,
because if I type what next, term conplains : gzip -dc
tetex-texmf.tar.gz \| (umask 0; cd /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-dist;
tar xvf -)

I think I've solved this: I just realized you have \| here,
where it should have been just a |, without backslash.

The backslash on the line above it in the quickinstall is there
to "hide" the newline that follows it from the shell (look
up 'backslash' in bash-s man page)


Cheers, Taco
