A "from scratch" install of LaTeX looks pretty straightforward on Windows
or Unix, judging from what I found on CTAN last night. Of course, that's to
use LaTeX as LaTeX, not JadeTeX (and I note that I am not a beginner at
this---I was updating an installation, not starting from scratch [which is
actually harder :-]). The newer distributions are much easier than they
used to be.
It does seem the long way around for SGML/XML -> PDF, though.
