eTeX is now part of an official distribution of TeX for UNIX, also called teTeX.
If you need eTeX for UNIX, the best thing is to get hold of teTeX. teTeX contains a complete TeX system for UNIX, including eTeX.
It is available on a CDRom directly from TUG, the center of TeX developement in the US.
The disk can be bought for a handling fee from TUG, using their e-mail: tug@tug.org
A copy of the disk (now called TexLive 6) can be made for you by Rama - contact Rama Porrat -- rama@huji.ac.il for details.
Installing from the CD - TexLive 6
Installation instructions for TeX from the CD come with the CD itself.
You insert the CD Rom into the CD drive, mount the CD drive on your
system, and type
sh install-cd.sh or bsh install-cd.sh
Then you follow the instructions on screen, change directories' names
as well as other parameters according to your system requirements,
and start the installations.
Installation might take a few hours, depending on the number of
packages you decide to install. A recommended installation will
require around 300 MB of disk space.
Read the instructions which appear on screen right after the installation
is finished. You have to update your PATH variable and run
texconfig init
If you need the Hebrew addition, then, after the above installation is
complete, follow the Hebrew Addition installation instructions, below.
