Now that is in interesting download. I see the following files
and instructions:
--------------------------------------------------------
tetex-3.0-3.i586.rpm-1 20-Jun-2006 17:54 66.8M
[ ] tetex-3.0-3.i586.rpm-2 20-Jun-2006 17:56 41.8M
[SND] tetex-3.0-3.nosrc.rpm 20-Jun-2006 17:56 11k
[ ] tetex-3.0-3.src.rpm-1 20-Jun-2006 17:58 66.8M
[ ] tetex-3.0-3.src.rpm-2 20-Jun-2006 18:01 62.0M
[SND] tetex-3.0-4.nosrc.rpm 21-Jun-2006 21:35 11k
To get the package tetex-3.0-3.i586.rpm, you need to do
cat tetex-3.0-3.i586.rpm-1 tetex-3.0-3.i586.rpm-2 >tetex-3.0-3.i586.rpm
To get the package tetex-3.0-3.src.rpm, you need to do
cat tetex-3.0-3.src.rpm-1 tetex-3.0-3.src.rpm-2 >tetex-3.0-3.src.rpm
Both packages can be build from tetex-3.0-3.nosrc.rpm

------------------------------------------------
OK if I catenate the two 586 files, I get one rpm. Presumably I
can just unpack the rpm and go. Or do I need to do something
with one of the two nosrc RPMs? And why are there two nosrc RPMs?
I'm a tarball guy myself, although Slack has an RPM command too.
Anyhow the first two are downloading right now. Stay tuned.
Advice welcome.
