i got the instruction from this forum, too, a while back. it wasn't specifically tetex. unfortunately, i could not find the original post. so, credit goes to the original poster.
here's how i did it. i'm assuming you are doing all these in a terminal window.
1. you need to install the equivs package. i think it's in universe, so activate the necessary line in your sources.list file. then do:
Code:
sudo apt-get install equivs
2. create a text file called tetex-dummy.control and put the following:
Code:
Section: TeX Authoring
Package: tetex-dummy
Provides: tetex-base, tetex-bin, tetex-extra, tetex-doc, tetex-extra, tex-common
Description: Dummy package for tetex so that TeXLive can be installed.
3. create the package.
Code:
equivs-build tetex-dummy.control
this will create, among other things, a tetex-dummy-xxx.deb
4. install the deb file you created:
Code:
sudo dpkg -i tetex-dummy-xxx.deb
5. install kile and TeXLive!
hope this helps.
