+Install for portable use. Also selectable from within the perltk-

+If you want to run this portable installation, you need to add the

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

+removal has to be done manually. This option is not available via

-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.

-C<~/.tlportableYYYY>. Otherwise, the host system is not touched.
