I dont want to install any teX packages since I already have one (thanks to fink). so what is the minimal install I need to do to get pdflatex?

um nope. I had it with an older version of fink. the new one does not seem to have it or at least I cant find it. I suspect it was in the tetex bunlde but that's obsolete in the recent version of TeX on fink. any suggestions?

sudo apt-get install pdftex

pdflatex is a separate fink package that requires TeX to be present, but is not included with the default fink install of the TeTeX package.
