Hello everyone.

        I recently downloaded the TeX stuff from 129.78.66.1 (the Australia
site) and followed the instructions in the README.222 file, and got it
installed.

        I thought that I was about to fly. But when I ran "latex foo" or
"tex foo", I got the following greetings:

================================================
This is TeX, C Version 3.141
I can't find the default format file!
================================================

The first line is fine, but the second line ruined my whole day.

        I looked around the directories and found that all the format files
"xxx.fmt" were there under the "/usr/local/lib/tex/formats" directory.

        So, what did I do wrong? How come TeX didn't like me. :-(

        Could someone please help me out here?
