-<title>TeX Live</title></head><body>
-
-<h2>Welcome to TeX Live</h2>
-
-<p>The <strong>TeX Live</strong> 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.
-
-<p>The distribution also includes extensive general documentation about
-TeX, as well as the documentation accompanying the included software
-packages.
-
-<p>For licensing information, please see the top-level <a
-href="LICENSE.TL">LICENSE.TL</a> and <a
-href="LICENSE.CTAN">LICENSE.CTAN</a> text files.
-
-
-<h3>Where to start</h3>
-
-<p>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.
-
-<p>English versions of the Guide are in the <a
-href="texmf-doc/doc/english">texmf-doc/doc/english/</a> hierarchy, in
-both <a href="texmf-doc/doc/english/texlive-en/live.html">html</a> and
-<a href="texmf-doc/doc/english/texlive-en/live.pdf">pdf</a> formats.
-Translations to other languages are also available under <a
-href="texmf-doc/doc/">texmf-doc/doc/*</a>.
-
-<p>For a list of the most important changes in this year's release,
-see the "Release history" section at the end of the documentation.
-
-
-<h3>Installation</h3>
-
-<p>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 <tt>00<i>type</i>.TL</tt> file in this top-level directory.
-
-<dl>
-<dt><b>live</b></dt>
-<dd>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
- <tt>install-tl.sh</tt> in the <tt>texlive</tt> directory under Unix,
- including MacOSX (GNU/Linux users can also try setuptl/tlpmgui-i386-linux).
- A Windows installer named <tt>tlpmgui.exe</tt> is also
- available, in the <tt>setuptl</tt> directory.
-
- <p>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.
-</dd>
-
-<dt><b>inst(allable)</b></dt>
-<dd>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 <tt>./install-tl.sh</tt> on Unix or MacOSX, or
- <tt>setuptl/tlpmgui-i386-linux</tt> (GNU/Linux GUI install), or
- <tt>setuptl/tlpmgui.exe</tt> on Windows.

-</dd>
-
-<dt><b>protext</b></dt>
-<dd>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.
- <p><!-- spacing kludge -->
-</dd>
-
-</dl>
-
-<p>Naturally, each user group chooses what to distribute, at its own
-discretion. (TUG is sending all three discs above to its members.)
-
-<p>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 <a href="http://tug.org/ftp/texlive/Images/">ISO images are
-available online</a>. The <a
-href="http://tug.org/ftp/texlive/Contents/">contents are also available
-for browsing</a>.
-
-
-<h3>Documentation</h3>
-
-<p>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
-browser (such as <a href="http://www.mozilla.org/">Mozilla</a>, the free
-version of Netscape) for HTML documents, and a PDF reader (such as <a
-href="http://tug.org/applications/gv/">gv</a> or <a
-href="http://www.foolabs.com/xpdf/">xpdf</a>, both free alternatives to
-Acrobat) for PDF documents.

- documentation</strong></a> (html).
