+Configuring the TeX Live 2004-2006 installation on Windows in 5 steps;

+
+This document tries to describe in short the most important steps to
+configure TeX Live 2004-2006, installed on Windows using the TLPM program
+by Pawe{\l} Jackowski (or manually, for bold people).
+
+1. After installation from the TeX Live CD/DVD, the most important
+ thing is to set some environment variables. How to do that depends on
+ the Windows version used, e.g., for Windows 9x it is enough to add
+ the following lines into c:\autoexec.bat file and restart the system
+
+REM addapt the next line to YOUR TLroot directory
+set TLroot=c:\TeXLive
+set PATH=%TLroot%\bin\win32;%PATH%
+set TEXMFCNF=%TLroot%\texmf-var\web2c
+set PERL5LIB=%TLroot%\xemtex\perl\lib;%TLroot%\xemtex\perl\site\lib
+set GS_LIB=%TLroot%\xemtex\gslib;%TLroot%\xemtex\gsfonts
+
+For Windows NT/2K/XP the procedure is somehow less straightforward.
+Click left on Start->Settings->Control Panel. Now the window with the
+control panel icons opens. Double click on "System". The
+"System Properties" window opens. Click on the tab "Environment"
+or look for a button named "Environment Variables" among the
+dialog boxes. Now you can change the environment variables for your
+user account (or system wide variables when you have administrator rights
+on your machine).
+Hint: Having opened this readme file in any text editor (like Notepad) you can
+copy-paste the variable names and their values from the above example.
+Please adapt first TLroot value to the directory where you installed
+TeX Live.
+Windows NT/2K/XP versions for some reasons also need setting of one more variable:
+TEXMFTEMP=%TLroot%\temp
+Do not forget to create this subdirectory by hand!
+
+2. As we need the texmf-var directory for (some) configuration files, formats,
+ etc., this is good time to do it right now. Please apply the
+ following batch file (should work for all Windows versions):
+
+--- mktexvar.bat --<-- cut here
+REM addapt the following line to the absolute directory
+cd %TLroot%
+md texmf-var
+cd texmf-var
+md web2c
+copy ..\texmf\web2c\texmf.cnf web2c\*.*
+copy ..\texmf\web2c\fmtutil.cnf web2c\*.*
+attrib -R web2c\texmf.cnf
+attrib -R web2c\fmtutil.cnf
+md tex
+cd tex
+md generic
+cd generic
+md config
+cd config
+copy ..\..\..\..\texmf\tex\generic\config\language.dat .
+attrib -R language.dat
+echo PLEASE CHANGE texmf-var\tex\generic\config\language.dat
+echo (percent out not needed hyphenation patterns)
+
+Now you can edit the language.dat file in the texmf-var subtree
+and unsellect all hyphenation patterns which are not needed (and in fact
+could be missing).
+
+3. run from the command line:
+mktexlsr
+
+4. run from the command line:
+updmap
+
+5. run from the command line:
+fmtutil --byfmt=latex
+(or any needed format)
+
+More information on how to configure the installation can be found
+in the TeX Live documentation, see section "Personal configurations"
+and also "Tips and tricks for Win32".
