+Install for portable use. Also selectable from within the perltk-
+and text installers. This option creates a completely self-contained
+TeX Live installation under a common root and forgoes system
+integration. Good for installation on a USB stick.

+If you want to run this portable installation, you need to add the
+appropriate binary directory to the searchpath during your terminal
+session.  For Windows, a batchfile tlmenu.bat is provided that
+lets you choose interactively between a few tasks.

+If you already have an rsync- or svn checkout of TeX Live then this

+warned that the file tlpkg/texlive.tlpdb may be rewritten, and that
+removal has to be done manually. This option is not available via
+the installer interface.

-C<tl-portable> and a DOS batch file C<tl-portable.bat> which start up a
-new shell (command prompt), in which TeX Live can be run self-contained.

-When running these scripts from a non-writable medium, some preparation
-of the host system is done on the first run, in the host directory
-C<~/.tlportableYYYY>.  Otherwise, the host system is not touched.
