   Installation
 
-   Space limitations of CD-ROM format have forced us to divide TeX Live
-   into several distributions. You can tell which one you're in by
-   looking for a 00type.TL file in this top-level directory.
-
-   live
-          A complete system on DVD; it is too large for CD. You can run
-          programs directly from the mounted DVD; see the documentation
-          for details. Or you can install to disk by executing the script
-          install-tl.sh in the texlive directory under Unix, including
-          MacOSX (GNU/Linux users can also try
-          setuptl/tlpmgui-i386-linux). A Windows installer named
-          tlpmgui.exe is also available, in the setuptl directory.
-
-          The live DVD also contains other distributions: proTeXt (see
-          below); MacTeX, for MacOSX; and a snapshot of CTAN. Each of
-          these are completely independent from TeX Live, with different
-          licensing conditions.
-
-   inst(allable)
-          A complete system on CD, for installing on Unix (including
-          MacOSX) or Windows; in order to make it fit, we had to compress
-          everything we could. Therefore, it is not possible to run TeX
-          directly from the installable CD; you have to install it to
-          disk (hence its name). Do this by running ./install-tl.sh on
-          Unix or MacOSX, or setuptl/tlpmgui-i386-linux (GNU/Linux GUI
-          install), or setuptl/tlpmgui.exe on Windows.
-
-   protext
-          The proTeXt distribution for Windows is an enhancement of
-          MiKTeX: it adds a few extra tools, and simplifies installation
-          considerably. It is completely independent of TeX Live, and has
-          its own installation instructions. It can be run live or
-          installed to disk. proTeXt is provided on the live DVD, and
-          (for some user groups) its own CD.
-
-   Naturally, each user group chooses what to distribute, at its own
-   discretion. (TUG is sending all three discs above to its members.)
-
-   CD format details: For Unix and Mac, the CD's use the Rock Ridge
-   extensions to the standard ISO-9660 format. For Windows, Microsoft
-   Joliet extensions are used. In any case, you should see the full names
-   after mounting. If you see truncated names, you cannot run programs
-   directly. If you have plenty of bandwidth and know how to burn discs,
-   the [7]ISO images are available online. The [8]contents are also
-   available for browsing.
+   The installation script is now named install-tl, and has both GUI
+   (default on Windows) and text (default on everything else) operation
+   modes. You can force one or the other with the options -gui and
+   -no-gui, respectively.
+
+   Post-installation package updates and other configuration is now
+   performed with the tlmgr (TeX Live Package Manager) script, which
+   likewise has both GUI and text modes.
 
   Documentation
 
    Most of the documentation can be viewed online, before the TeX system
    is installed. To read it most conveniently, you will need to have a

-   documents, and a PDF reader (such as [10]gv or [11]xpdf, both free
-   alternatives to Acrobat) for PDF documents.
