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. - -<h2>The schemes menu (<tt><C></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 &emdash; TeX macro files, Metafont font -families, and so on &emdash; consists of several packages. - -<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. - -<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 location of the binaries. -<p> -The platform independent files are stored in a directory tree in -<tt>TEXDIR/texmf</tt>. There is also an extra directory for performing -administrative tasks like change of configuration and languages. This -is where all format files are stored.

I.e., if you -set this to /tmp, and users on two different machines need the same -font, it will be built twice, once on each machine. - -<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.
