+<h2>Welcome to TeX Live</h2>
+
+<p>The <strong>TeX Live</strong> software distribution offers a complete
+TeX system for a variety of Unix, Macintosh, Windows and other
+platforms. It encompasses programs for editing, typesetting, previewing
+and printing of TeX documents in many different languages, and a large
+collection of TeX macros and font libraries.
+
+<p>The distribution includes extensive general documentation about TeX,
+as well as the documentation for the included software packages.
+
+<p>For licensing information, please see the top-level <a
+href="../LICENSE.TL">LICENSE.TL</a> and <a
+href="../LICENSE.CTAN">LICENSE.CTAN</a> text files.
+
+
+<h3>Where to start</h3>
+
+<p>We strongly recommend that you read the TeX Live Guide before
+undertaking the installation. It includes step-by-step instructions, a
+description of the top-level directories, and more.
+
+<p>English versions of the Guide are on the DVD in the
+<a href="../texmf-doc/doc/english">texmf-doc/doc/english/</a> hierarchy, in
+both <a href="../texmf-doc/doc/english/texlive-en/texlive-en.html">html</a>
+and <a href="../texmf-doc/doc/english/texlive-en/texlive-en.pdf">pdf</a>
+formats. Translations to other languages are also available under
+<a href="../texmf-doc/doc/">texmf-doc/doc/*</a>.
+
+<p>We also provide a list of <a href="../doc.html">links to the
+available PDF and HTML documentation</a> for the included packages and
+programs.
+
+<p>If you are installing from the Internet, the above links won't work.
+In that case, please see the documentation on the Internet at <a
+href="http://tug.org/texlive/doc.html">the TeX Live web site</a>.
+
+<p>For a list of the most important changes in this year's release,
+see the <i>Release history</i> section at the end of the documentation.
+
+
+<h3>Installation</h3>
+
+<p>The installation script is now named <tt>install-tl</tt> (that's
+<tt>install-tl.bat</tt> on Windows), and it has both GUI (default on
+Windows) and text (default on everything else) operation modes. You can
+force one or the other with the options <tt>-gui</tt> and
+<tt>-no-gui</tt>, respectively.
+
+<p>Post-installation package updates and other configurations are now
+performed with the <tt>tlmgr</tt> (TeX Live Package Manager) script,
+which likewise has both GUI and text modes.
+
+<p>You can give the command-line option <tt>--help</tt> to both
+<tt>install-tl</tt> and <tt>tlmgr</tt> for an overview.
+
+

+included in TeX Live:
