+
+<p>The <code>install-tl</code> script copies itself into the installed tree. Usually, it can be run from there, using the installed tree as the source for another installation. Occasionally, however, there may be incompatibilities in the code of the new <code>install-tl</code> and the infrastructure, resulting in (typically) inscrutable Perl errors. The way forward is to run <code>install-tl</code> out of the installer package (<code>install-tl-unx.tar.gz</code> or <code>install-tl.zip</code>) instead of the installation. Feel free to also report the bug and generally the code can be easily synced up again.</p>
+
+<p>By the way, do not try to use <code>install-tl</code> to adjust options or installed packaged in an existing installed tree. Use <code>tlmgr</code> instead.</p>
