Debian-specific information about the teTeX packages
Chapter 1 - Overview of the packages


The Debian teTeX packages are comprised of:

tetex-bin

provides the binary files

tetex-base

provides the most basic TeX and LaTeX input files, and will be sufficient for some simple documents, e.g. to build the documentation of other Debian packages (hopefully)

tetex-extra

contains lots of fonts and add-on packages for LaTeX and TeX development. If you want to use LaTeX to write and format your own documents, you will probably need many of these.

tetex-doc

the free part (according to the Debian Free Software Guidelines) of the documentation for tetex-bin, tetex-base and tetex-extra. It is not needed to build existing documents, but as an author, you will for sure want to install it.

tetex-doc-nonfree

the non-free part (according to the Debian Free Software Guidelines) of the documentation for tetex-bin, tetex-base and tetex-extra

tetex-src

the sources (i.e., .dtx files) of all the TeX/LaTeX files in tetex-base and tetex-extra, and of the documentation in tetex-doc. This package will only be needed by (La)TeX developers, or if you want to look up licensing information.
