Hi, 

I am looking for a binary distribution of a 386BSD ported TeX and the
ancillary programs (dvips, dvi2tty, etc.).

I wandered over to agate.berkeley.edu, in the TeX directory
(/pub/386BSD/386bsd-0.1/unofficial/ports/TeX) and found a 600K or so
tar.Z file, but that only contains a few new things like xdvi binaries
and source.  The other big set of split sources is too big, of course,
to put into my machine at present.

Is there such a thing?  How much total disk space does it need, and do
I need to install TeX fonts too, or can I use the fonts in Ghostscript
(I plan on using dvips to take TeX documents to the 24 pin dmp I have).
