+Welcome to TeX Live
+
+ The TeX Live software distribution offers a complete TeX system for a
+ variety of Unix, Macintosh, Windows and other platforms. It
+ encompasses programs for editing, typesetting, previewing and printing
+ of TeX documents in many different languages, and a large collection
+ of TeX macros and font libraries.
+
+ The distribution includes extensive general documentation about TeX,
+ as well as the documentation for the included software packages.
+
+ For licensing information, please see the top-level [1]LICENSE.TL and
+ [2]LICENSE.CTAN text files.
+
+ Where to start
+
+ We strongly recommend that you read the TeX Live Guide before
+ undertaking the installation. It includes step-by-step instructions, a
+ description of the top-level directories, and more.
+
+ English versions of the Guide are in the full distribution (for
+ example, on the DVD) in the [3]texmf-doc/doc/english/ hierarchy, in
+ both [4]html and [5]pdf formats. Translations to other languages are
+ also available under [6]texmf-doc/doc/*.
+
+ We also provide a list of [7]links to the available PDF and HTML
+ documentation for the included packages and programs.
+
+ If you are installing from the Internet, the above links won't work.
+ In that case, you can view the [8]TeX Live documentation on the
+ Internet.
+
+ For a list of the most important changes in this year's release, see
+ the Release history section at the end of the documentation.
+
+ Installation
+
+ The installation script is now named install-tl (that's install-tl.bat
+ on Windows), and it 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 configurations are now
+ performed with the tlmgr (TeX Live Package Manager) script, which
+ likewise has both GUI and text modes.
+
+ You can give the command-line option --help to both install-tl and
+ tlmgr for an overview. See the documentation links above for (much)
+ more information.
+
+ Links
+
+ Finally, a few related web pages, for your reference. These are not
+ included in TeX Live:
+
+ * [9]http://tug.org/begin.html - if you are new to TeX and/or want
+ introductory material.
+ * [10]http://tug.org/interest.html - general list of TeX web
+ resources, including documentation, systems, packages, fonts, and
+ more.
+ * [11]http://tug.org/ctan.html - one entry point into the
+ Comprehensive TeX Archive Network (CTAN), which is an online
+ repository of all things TeX.
+ * [12]http://tug.org/usergroups.html - list of TeX user groups
+ around the world, with contact information. We strongly encourage
+ you to join the user group of your choice, to support TeX Live and
+ other TeX activities.
+
+ Happy TeXing!
