+# eitl.sh Easy Install of TeXLive
+
+(C) Rolf Niepraschk@gmx.de,herbert@dante.de
+
+This script allows the easy install of a current TeXLive
+version over the net. It is tested with the current
+Linux versions of OpenSUSE and Ubuntu. The script does
+
+- looking for a fast server
+- downloading the install script
+- deleting an existing TeXLive version from
+ Ubuntu (deb) or openSUSE (rpm)
+- extracting and running the install script
+- installing a complete up-to-date TeXLive from tug.org
+- installing the non free fonts from tug.org which are
+ not part of TeXLive, like arial, Luxi mono, aso
+- installing a dummy package for an existing deb (Ubuntu)
+ or rpm (openSuSE) TeXLive
+- installing the GUIs TeXmaker and TeXworks
+- creating files zzz-texlive.sh for /etc/profile.d/
+
+without specifing a directory, TeXLive will be installed
+in the home directory ~/texlive. For another one run
+the script with e.g.
+
+./eitl.sh /usr/local/texlive
+
+If something goes wrong, then run eitl.sh with the restore option
+
+./eitl.sh restore
+
+it restores the .bashrc and deletes the files
+/etc/profile.d/zzz-texlive.* if present
+
+It is possible to create files zzz-texlive.(c)sh
+in /etc/profile.d/ for systemwide definitions
+instead of the entries in the local .bashrc
+If you prefer a system wide setting then set
+
+CREATE_PROFILE_FILES=1
+
+the default is 0.
+
+For some actions the script needs to be root. In such
+cases it asks for the root password.
+
+Report bugs to the authors.
