You need TeXinfo, since the documentation is written in that format,
(I recall you are using Caldera). I will check some makefile and tell
you exactly what you need (so you can free some space).

Try using lyx (www.lyx.org), it's a very good program.
Anyway, even if I hate myself to write this: try using a RedHat
distribution, it is very easy to install and you can obtain a
decent config in a couple of days (they resolved the BS/DEL
problem years ago). I use debian and live well with it, but it's a lot
harder to install a debian than a red hat.
