I have the task on installing TeX on a group of Sun SparcStation
IPC's.  I have used TeX in the past and am fairly familiar with it,
yet I have never installed it.  I do not want to use the unix TeX
distribution, as it is outdated (2.95 versus the curent 3.0).  How do
I go about this?  From what I understand, I have to retrieve a file
web2c to convert the TeX .web sources to c.  Is there any easy way of
doing this entire process?  I am looking for pointers to info files,
etc. telling me what files I need, how to build the fonts, how to
install everything in its proper directory, etc.  A makefile would be
very useful.  Also, I have heard of a program ImakeTex.  What does
this do and where can I get it?  

Thank you for any help.  These are probably very stupid questions, but
they are not answered in FAQ and I have also been monitoring this and
other groups to no avail.
