You can create such an installation directly on a -\acro{USB} stick or copy it to a USB stick afterwards. - -If you want to run this portable installation, you need to add the -appropriate binary directory to the searchpath during your terminal -session.

Apart from that, nothing changes compared to a normal -hard disk installation, see section \ref{sec:env}. - -For a physical (rather than virtual) Windows system, you can burn -the \acro{ISO} to \acro{DVD}. However, it may be worth your while to -investigate free \acro{ISO}-mounting options. For Windows XP, -Microsoft itself offers \filename{winxpvirtualcdcontrolpanel}. - -For Windows system integration, you can include the -\filename{w32client} scripts described in \ref{sec:netinstall} and -\url{http://www.tug.org/texlive/w32client.html}, which work just as -well for an \acro{ISO}- as for a network installation. - -For Mac OS X, TeXshop and TeXworks will be able to use the -\acro{DVD} installation if a symlink \filename{/usr/texbin} points -to the appropriate binary directory, \emph{e.g.} -\begin{verbatim} -sudo ln -s /Volumes/MyTeXLive/bin/universal-darwin /usr/texbin -\end{verbatim} - -\textbf{Note.} \TL{} 2010 was the first \TL{} edition which was no -longer `live'. But it always required some acrobatics to run earlier -versions from \acro{DVD} or \acro{ISO}. In particular, there was no -way around setting at least one extra environment variable. If you -create your \acro{ISO} from an existing installation then there is -no need for this. -\end{document} |
