Do not enter the angle brackets <tt><></tt> themselves. -<p> -We will now consider each menu item in more detail: - -<h2>The binary systems menu (<tt><B></tt>)</h2> - -The systems menu allows you to select and deselect the binary -packages for various different platforms. You cannot install Unix -binaries on Windows but vice versa. - -<h2>The schemes menu (<tt><S></tt>)</h2> - -You can choose from a number of different installation schemes -for TeX Live. Selecting one of these selects some collections -in the Collections and Languages lists which you can subsequently -modify. - -<h2>The collections menu (<tt><C></tt>)</h2> - -The collections menu allows you to select and deselect standard -collections. Each collection — TeX macro files, Metafont font -families, and so on — consists of several packages. -<p> -More than one collection can be selected/deselected at the same time. - -<h2>The language collections menu (<tt><L></tt>)</h2> - -The language collections menu allows you to select and deselect -language support collections. Each collection consists of several -packages, which provide features like hyphenation files and fonts. -<p> -More than one collection can be selected/deselected at the same time. - -<h2>The directories menu (<tt><D></tt>)</h2> - -The TeX Live distribution will be installed in a single directory tree -(<tt>TEXDIR</tt>). You may choose any directory you like since there are -no absolute paths compiled into the binaries. Instead, the Kpathsea -library selfdir feature ensures that all paths are relative to the -plocation of the binaries. -<p> -The platform independent files are stored in a directory tree in -<tt>TEXDIR/texmf</tt>. There are also extra directories for performing -administrative tasks like change of configuration and languages. They -default to <tt>TEXDIR/texmf-var</tt> and <tt>TEXDIR/texmf-config</tt>. -<p> -This system allows you to mount your <tt>TEXDIR/texmf</tt> tree read-only. - -<h2>The options menu (<tt><O></tt>)</h2> - -The options are not applicable to all installations. Set them as -appropriate for yours. - -<h3>use letter size instead of a4 by default</h3> - -You can choose letter as the default paper size for some programs. - -<h3>create all format files</h3> - -If this option is set, format files are created for system-wide use -by the installer. Otherwise they are will be created automatically -when needed. -<p> -In the latter case format files are stored in user's directory trees -and in some cases have to be re-created when new packages are -installed. - -<h3>install doc or source trees</h3> - -Normally all packages are installed with the source and documentation, -but these are not needed to actually run the software. If you -are installing a system for other people, it would be unfriendly to -select these options; if you know what you are doing and need a -minimal disk footprint, go ahead - -<h3>symlinks in standard directories (UNIX only)</h3> - -You can make the binaries, man pages, and info files available on your -system in either (or both) of two ways: -<ol> - <li> install them in <i>standard places</i> that are searched for these files - <li> change your search paths to include the new directories -</ol> -If you select the <i>symlinks</i> option, symbolic links will be installed in -the directories you choose. Note that if you share the TeX Live installation -accross several machines across NFS and if the chosen <i>standard places</i> are -not shared, you need to create the symbolic links on each client, too -(or use method 2 on your clients). -<p> -If you do not use the <i>symlinks</i> option, you probably need to set up -your search paths (<tt>PATH</tt>, <tt>MANPATH</tt>, <tt>INFOPATH</tt>). - -<h2>Install for running from DVD (<tt><V></tt>)</h2> - -This option sets up a minimal setup which allows TeX Live to -be run directly from the DVD. -<p> -A few directories on the hard disk have to be created for files -created by the TeX system itsef and for modified configuration files. -Please change <tt>TEXDIRW</tt> first in the directories menu <tt><D></tt>. - -</body> -</html> |
