Why wait?  Just download 'tetex-bin-2.0.2-15', 'bunzip2' it, and extract the 
executable from there using 'tar'.  If you had previously installed that
version on your machine, you can skip the downloading and just go straight
to your local package directory for it.  And, of course, there's always the
source if you just have to have a version which you cannot get from anywhere
else.
