 These packages are used for internal operation and storage containers
 for settings.  I<00texlive> packages are never be split into separate
 arch-packages, and containers are never generated for these packages.
-Examples: C<00texlive-installation.config>, C<00texlive.config>.

+The full list of currently used packages of this type is:

+=over 8
+
+=item B<00texlive.config>
+
+This package contains configuration options for the TeX Live archive.
+If container_split_{doc,src}_files occurs in the depend lines the
+{doc,src} files are split into separate containers (.tar.lzma) 
+during container build time. Note that this has NO effect on the
+appearance within the texlive.tlpdb. It is only on container level.
+The container_format/XXXXX specifies the format, currently allowed
+is only "lzma", which generates .tar.lzma files. zip can be supported.
+release/NNNN specifies the release number as used in the installer.
+
+=item B<00texlive-installation.config>
+
+This package serves a double purpose:
+
+1. at installation time the present values are taken as default for
+the installer
+
+2. on an installed system it serves as configuration file. Since
+we have to remember these settings for additional package
+installation, removal, etc.
+
+=item B<00texlive.core>
+
+This package collects some files which are not caught by any of the
+other TL packages. Its primary purpose is to make the file coverage
+check happy.  The files here are not copied by the installer
+and containers are not built; they exist only in the
+full DVD image.
+
+=item B<00texlive.installer>
+
+This package defines the files to go into the installer
+archives (install-tl-unx.tar.gz, install-tl.zip) built
+by the tl-make-installer script.  Most of what's here is also
+included in the texlive.infra package -- ordinarily duplicates
+are not allowed, but in this case, 00texlive.installer is never
+used *except* to build the installer archives, so it's ok.
