-<title>The TeX Live installer</title>
-</head>
-<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">
-<!-- **** Still from TL-2007, needs to be updated **** -->
-<h1>The TeX Live installer</h1>
-This is the installation program of the TeX Live distribution.
-<p>
-The installation procedure is simple: just go through the
-menus until you are happy with the way all options are set up,
-and then do <tt>&lt;I&gt;</tt> (start installation).
-<p>
-To select a menu item (a letter or a number marked with brackets)
-just enter the corresponding letter or number and press return
-(the letters are case insensitive except when collections
-are being selected). Do not enter the
-angle brackets <tt>&lt;&gt;</tt> themselves.
-<p>
-We will now consider each menu item in more detail:
-
-<h2>The binary systems menu (<tt>&lt;B&gt;</tt>)</h2>
-
-The systems menu allows you to select and deselect
-the binary packages for various different platforms.
-
-<h2>The schemes menu (<tt>&lt;C&gt;</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>&lt;C&gt;</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>&lt;L&gt;</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>&lt;D&gt;</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. It defaults to <tt>TEXDIR/texmf-var</tt>.
-<p>
-This system allows you to mount your <tt>TEXDIR/texmf</tt> tree read-only.
-
-<h2>The options menu (<tt>&lt;O&gt;</tt>)</h2>
-
-The options are not applicable to all installations. Set them as
-appropriate for yours.
-<h3>alternate fonts directory</h3>
-
-You can choose an alternate directory for automatically generated fonts;
-the default is <tt>TEXMFSYSVAR/fonts</tt>
-<p>
-One disadvantage may be that new fonts are not shared. 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. 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>).
-
-<h3>do not install doc or source trees</h3>
-
-These options are not recommended, but you can use them to save space.
-Normally all packages are installed with the source and/or 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
