-Running the TeX Live dvd without installation
----------------------------------------------
-
-Unix/Linux: in a terminal, run tl-portable.sh, which is in the root
-directory of the dvd. This starts up a secondary shell with the
-necessary environment settings. When the script runs for the first
-time, some files will be generated in a directory .texlive2008 under
-the user's home directory. On subsequent runs, the secondary shell
-will start almost instantaneously.
-
-Windows: either double-click tl-portable.bat in the root of the dvd,
-or run it from a command prompt. As under Unix, the first time some
-files have to be generated, this time under c:\Documents and
-Settings\<username>\.texlive2008. Subsequent times, the batchfile
-finishes almost instanteneously.
-
-On either platform, you can run several parallel TeXLive
-terminals/command prompts.
-
-TeX Live on a usb stick
------------------------
-
-Copy the bin, texmf, texmf-dist and tlpkg directories to your usb
-stick. Also copy all the files in the root. If you place a
-texmf-local directory in the root it will also be found and used. In
-this case, tl-portable will notice that the usb stick is writable
-and use it for generated files. You can burn the contents of the usb
-stick back to dvd.
-
-Customization
--------------
-
-Instead of a secondary shell or command prompt, you can make
-variations of tl-portable which start a TeX-aware editor instead of
-a secondary shell or command prompt.
-
-.texlua filetype
-----------------
-
-Under Windows, registry entries are created to associate .texlua
-files with texlua.exe. These are per-user entries, but there is no
-way to restrict the effect to a particular session. So this is a
-definite lapse in perfect portability and may even interfere with a
-properly installed TeXLive.
