From a TeX README:
-------------
If you are looking for a high-level overview of installing a TeX system
from scratch, try ftp.cs.umb.edu:pub/tex/unixtex.ftp, mirrored on CTAN
sites as /tex-archive/help/unixtex.ftp.  For a list of CTAN sites,
finger ctan_us@ftp.shsu.edu (a list current as of the time of
distribution is in the file FTP).
-------------
There is also a Walnut Creek CDROM (2 CD's) with TeX stuff
