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. - <p><!-- spacing kludge --> -</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. - -<ul> -<li><a href="texmf-doc/doc/english/texlive-en/live.html"><strong>TeX Live - documentation</strong></a> (html). - -<li><a href="doc.html">Links to all included PDF and HTML documentation</a>. - -<li>TeX FAQ's in the distribution: - <a href="texmf-doc/doc/czechslovak/cstug/csfaq/">Czech/Slovak</a>, - <a href="texmf-doc/doc/english/FAQ-en/newfaq.pdf">English</a> (pdf), - <a href="texmf-doc/doc/french/FAQ-fr/">French</a>, - <a href="texmf-doc/doc/german/FAQ-ge/">German</a>, -</ul> - -<p>Finally, some related web pages, for your reference.
