The main reason for changing the proposed directory structure is
lack of write permissions for the default location. You don't have
to be root or adminstrator to install \TL, but you do need write
access to the target directory.
-A logical

+A logical alternate choice is a directory under your home directory,

+`\dirname{~}' to indicate this, \emph{e.g.}: `\dirname{~/texlive/2008}'.

+different releases of \TL{} side by side. (You may wish to make a
+version-independent name such \dirname{/usr/local/texlive-cur} via a
+symbolic link, which you can then update after testing the new
+release.)
-\subsection{Installing from source}

+\dirname{TEXMFSYSVAR} and \dirname{TEXMFSYSCONFIG}.

+\dirname{TEXMFHOME} is the recommended location for personal

+directory of each individual running \TeX. It expands to
+\verb|$HOME| on Unix and \verb|%USERPROFILE%| on Windows.
+
+\subsubsection{Options}
+
+This is the text-mode Options menu under Unix/Linux:
+\begin{boxedverbatim}
+<P> use letter size instead of A4 by default: [ ]
+<F> create all format files: [X]
+<D> install font/macro doc tree: [X]
+<S> install font/macro source tree: [X]
+<L> create symlinks in standard directories: [ ]
+ binaries to:
+ manpages to:
+ info to:
+\end{boxedverbatim}
+Three options require some explanation:
+\begin{description}
+\item[create all format files:] Although unnecessary format files
+ take time to generate and disk space to store, it is still
+ recommended to check this option: if you don't, then format files
+ will be generated people's private \dirname{TEXMFVAR} tree, and
+ won't be updated automatically if binaries or hyphenation patterns
+ etc. are updated, and they may end up with incompatible format
+ files.
+\item[install font/macro source tree:] These are mostly
+ \LaTeX{} \filename{.dtx} files, from which both \filename{.sty} files
+ and documentation are generated. It is ok to uncheck this.
+\item[create symlinks in standard directories] (Unix/Linux only):
+ this option bypasses the need to change environment
+ variables. Without this option, \TL{} directories have to be added
+ to \envname{PATH}, \envname{MANPATH} and \envname{INFOPATH}. You will
+ need write permissions to the target directories. It is not
+ advisable to overwrite a \TeX\ system that came with your system
+ with this option. It's intended primarily for creating the links
+ in standard directories that are known to users, such as
+ \dirname{/usr/local/bin}, which don't already contain any

+\begin{ttdescription}
+\item[-gui] If possible, use the \GUI{} installer. This requires the

+ if Perl/Tk is not available, installation continues in text mode.
+\item[-no-gui] Force using the text mode installer, even under
+ Windows, \emph{e.g.} because you want a `from \DVD' installation,
+ which is not available in \GUI{} mode.
+\item[-lang \textit{2-letter code}] Specify the installer interface
+ language. Currently supported languages: English (\texttt{en},
+ default), German (\texttt{de}), French (\texttt{fr}), Dutch
+ (\texttt{nl}), Polish (\texttt{pl}) and Slovenian (\texttt{sl}).
+\item[-profile \textit{profile}] The installer writes a file
+ \filename{texlive.profile} to the \dirname{2008/tlpkg}- or
+ \dirname{tlpkg} subdirectory of your installation. With a copy of
+ this file, you can install in batchmode on subsequent systems,
+ reproducing the choices you made for the original installation.
+\item [-location \textit{url/path}] Specify a non-default source for
+ packages; see below.
+\end{ttdescription}
+
+\subsubsection{The \optname{location} parameter}
+
+The argument can be an \texttt{ftp:} or \texttt{http:} url, but also
+a local \texttt{file:/} url, and even a plain path. If the given
+argument is on a local drive (either a path or a \texttt{file:/}
+url), the installation type (compressed or live) is automatically
+determined: if an \dirname{archive} subdirectory with
+\filename{.tar.lzma} files is found then it will be used, even if
+uncompressed files are available as well.
+
+When giving an \texttt{http:} or \texttt{ftp:} location,
+trailing `\texttt{/}' characters and/or a trailing `\texttt{/tlpkg}'
+component are ignored. For example, you could choose a particular
+CTAN mirror with something like:
+\url{http://ctan.example.org/tex-archive/texlive/tlnet/2008},
+substituting of course a proper hostname and its particular top-level
+CTAN path (the list of CTAN mirrors is maintained at
+\url{http://ctan.org/mirrors}). The default is to pick a mirror
+automatically, using \url{http://mirror.ctan.org}; one mirror is
+used for the entire download.
+
+\subsection{Installing from source}
+
+As long as your platform has a decent Perl, you will be able to
+install everything \emph{except} the binaries. It is probably a good
+idea to uncheck the option to create all format files. Afterwards,

-separate. (You may wish to make a version-independent name such
-\dirname{/usr/local/texlive-cur} via a symbolic link, which you can then

-
-Under \MacOSX, the usual frontends look for \TeX{} in
-\dirname{/usr/local/teTeX}, so you may wish to install \TL{} there.
-
-If you use a \path|~| in this value, it is immediately expanded to your
-home directory (and this is reflected in the prompt). The expanded
-value is also used in the custom configuration files written by the
-installer.
-
-\item [TEXMFLOCAL] This tree is the recommended location to for any
-locally-created or installed packages or configuration files. The
-default value is \dirname{/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local}, independent
-of the current \TL{} release.
-
-\item [TEXMFSYSVAR] This tree is where \cmdname{texconfig-sys} puts
-files that \emph{are} version-specific. The default value is
-\dirname{TEXDIR/texmf-var}, and there's generally no reason to change
-it. See section~\ref{sec:texconfig}, \p.\pageref{sec:texconfig} for
-more information.
-
-\item [TEXMFHOME] This tree is the recommended location for personal
-macro files or packages. The default value is \dirname{~/texmf}. In

-\textbf{\optname{o} -- Other options.} From this menu, you can select
-the following general options:
-
-\begin{ttdescription}
-\item [a] Specify an alternate directory for generated fonts.
-The default is to use the \envname{TEXMFVAR} tree, as explained above.
-Setting this is useful if you plan to mount the main tree read-only, and
-therefore you need another location (perhaps host-specific) for
-dynamically created fonts.
-
-\item [l] Create symbolic links for the binaries, man pages,
-and\slash or \acro{GNU} Info files in other locations. For example, you may
-wish to make the man pages available under \dirname{/usr/local/man} and
-the Info files available under \dirname{/usr/local/info}. (Of course
-you need appropriate privileges to write in the specified directories.)
-
-It is not advisable to overwrite a \TeX\ system that came with your
