=head1 DESCRIPTION
The TeX Live installer works across all supported platforms and allows
-to install TeX Live from various media, including the network.
+to install TeX Live from various media, including the network. For
+information on initially downloading TeX Live, see
+L<http://tug.org/texlive/acquire.html>.
-Post-installation configuration, packages updates, and more, are now
-available through B<tlmgr>(1), the TeX Live Manager
+The basic idea of TeX Live installation is to choose one of the
+top-level I<schemes>, each of which is defined as a different set of
+I<collections> and I<packages>, where a collection is a set of packages,
+and a package is what contains actual files.
+
+Within the installer, you can choose a scheme, and further customize the
+set of collections to install, but not the set of the packages. To do
+that, remove the undesired packages after installation with C<tlmgr>
+(see reference below).
+
+The default is C<scheme-full>, to install everything, and this is highly
+recommended unless your disk space is severely limited.

+Post-installation configuration, packages updates, and more, are handled
