Installing R on 64-bit Solaris 2.8 --- follow-up

Hello R-users,

thanks to Brian Ripley and Roger Peng for there prompt replies on
installing R on a Solaris 64-bit machine.  R is now running and seems to be
doing fine.  I realy would like to have access to the manuals so I can
climb most of the learning curve on my own -- I am a long time user of
Splus, hence I am not expecting the learning curve to be too steep.  On the
Sun machine that R is installed neither LaTeX, nor pdfLaTeX nor infomake is
installed, hence the manuals could not be built.  I am not administrator of
the machine and the admin. people are vey reluctant to install the required
freeware, I am looking for a workaround.
