The official rpms are under ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/ (but you
probably already know that).

If you don't succeed to "make" and if you would like to use teTeX 3.0, try if
    rpm --i tetex-3.0-13.i586.rpm
on ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/9.3/suse/i586/tetex-3.0-13.i586.rpm
fails or not. Perhaps you have some luck and it will work. (I just
installed some packeges from an older CD and it worked.) Btw, Suse
10.0 contains not only the latest teTeX, but also the latest ConTeX,
which is a kind of miracle!!!


Minimal distribution doesn't mean that you have to throw the existing
distribution away. It's pretty isolated and works well for most cases
- it usually completely ignores the existing distribution and you can
use the minimal ConTeXt without root/administrator privileges.

All you have to do is to extract the files for minimal distribution to
any folder and run setuptex (each time you go to the shell, but you
can add a line to .[someshell]rc).

... Unless you need metafont for generating your ConTeXt documents.
