A few months ago I tried to install TeX on a Sun 5.8 and had an
awful time getting kpsewhich to work. I think I eventually fixed
it by altering some configuration files or shell variables or both.
I probably would have got nowhere with the WOSINDW two-headed file-
naming system. But when I recently installed TeX on my wife's
WOSINDW system, I used the automatic TeX downloader and had no problems.
Kpsewhich on Solaris was a minor problem compared to the basic
installation. At CTAN I found all kinds of overlapping tarballs,
each with its own instructions. Is there a single, stable,
authoritative guide to installing TeX on Unix?

it brings disaster because its power enters into challenges
with other objects of its kind, and the owner becomes
either a pursuer or a victim. The Nagual said that it is
the nature of such objects to be at war, because the part
of our attention which focuses on them to give them power
is a very dangerous, belligerent part.
