As mentioned before I installed the teTeX port and indeed got latex too.
At least there was a symlink called that way ;-))
Reading about latex I noticed that there should be a modern variant in
use called latex2. It also existst in ports.

Has anybody a clue if (and why) the teTeX port uses another (less
modern) latex? In other words: need I install the latex2e port too or
should I just use the latex that came with the teTeX port?

All further TeX questions will be addressed to the dutch mailing list on
tex ;-)) but htis seems a "portconstruction" related to FreeBSD, so..

Hope someone knows (and helps..)
