+.PP
+Post-installation configuration, packages updates, and more, are now

+.IP "\fB\-gui\fR [[=]\fImodule\fR]" 4
+.IX Item "-gui [[=]module]"
+If no \fImodule\fR is given starts the default \s-1GUI\s0 installer (default on
+Windows).
+.Sp
+If \fImodule\fR is given loads the given installer module. Currently the
+following modules are supported:
+.RS 4
+.ie n .IP """text""" 8
+.el .IP "\f(CWtext\fR" 8
+.IX Item "text"
+The text mode user interface which is the default on Unix systems, and
+can be forced with by giving \f(CW\*(C`text\*(C'\fR as \fImodule\fR, or with the \f(CW\*(C`\-no\-gui\*(C'\fR
+switch.
+.ie n .IP """wizard""" 8
+.el .IP "\f(CWwizard\fR" 8
+.IX Item "wizard"
+The wizard mode user interface asking only a few questions before installing
+all of TeX Live. This is the default on Windows systems.
+.ie n .IP """perltk""" 8
+.el .IP "\f(CWperltk\fR" 8
+.IX Item "perltk"
+The all-in-one \s-1GUI\s0 installer.
+It can also be selected by giving the \f(CW\*(C`\-gui\*(C'\fR option without any \fImodule\fR.
+.RE
+.RS 4
+.Sp
+The \f(CW\*(C`perltk\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`wizard\*(C'\fR modules, and thus also when calling with a
+simple \f(CW\*(C`\-gui\*(C'\fR (without \fImodule\fR) requires
+the Perl/Tk module (<http://tug.org/texlive/distro.html#perltk>; if
+Perl/Tk is not available, installation continues in text mode.
+.RE
+.IP "\fB\-no\-gui\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-no-gui"
+Use the text mode installer (default except on Windows).
+.IP "\fB\-lang\fR \fI2\-letter lang code\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-lang 2-letter lang code"
+(only for \s-1GUI\s0 installer) If possible, start the installer translated into
+the language specified by the 2\-letter language code. Currently supported
+languages: English (en, default), German (de), French (fr), Dutch (nl),
+Polish (pl) and Slovenian (sl).
+.IP "\fB\-location\fR \fIurl|path\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-location url|path"
+Provide an installation source, either a local directory via
+\&\f(CW\*(C`/path/to/directory\*(C'\fR or a \f(CW\*(C`file:/\*(C'\fR url, or a network location via
+a \f(CW\*(C`http://\*(C'\fR or \f(CW\*(C`ftp://\*(C'\fR url.
+.Sp
+If the location is local, the installation type (compressed or live) is
+automatically determined, by checking for the presence of a
+\&\f(CW\*(C`archive\*(C'\fR directory relative to the root. Compressed is
+preferred if both are available, since it is faster. Here's an example
+of using a local directory:
+.Sp
+.Vb 1
+\& -location /local/TL/repository/copy
+.Ve
+.Sp
+If the location is on the network, trailing \f(CW\*(C`/\*(C'\fR characters and/or
+trailing \f(CW\*(C`/tlpkg\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`/archive\*(C'\fR components are ignored. For example,
+you could choose a particular \s-1CTAN\s0 mirror with something like this:
+.Sp
+.Vb 1
+\& -location http://mirror.example.org/its/path/to/ctan/texlive/tlnet
+.Ve
+.Sp
+Of course a proper hostname and its particular top-level \s-1CTAN\s0 path
+have to be specified. The list of \s-1CTAN\s0 mirrors is available at
+<http://ctan.org/mirrors>.
+.Sp
+The default is to pick a mirror automatically, using
+<http://mirror.ctan.org/systems/texlive/tlnet>; the chosen mirror is
+used for the entire download. You can use the special location name
+\&\f(CW\*(C`ctan\*(C'\fR as an abbreviation for this. See <http://ctan.org> for more
+about \s-1CTAN\s0 and its mirrors.
+.Sp
+After installation is complete, you can use that installation as the
+location for another installation. If you chose to install less than
+the full scheme containing all packages, the list of available schemes
+will be adjusted accordingly.
+.IP "\fB\-no\-cls\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-no-cls"
+(only for text mode installer) do not clear the screen when entering
+a new menu (for debugging purposes).
+.IP "\fB\-non\-admin\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-non-admin"
+For Windows only: configure for the current user, not for all users.
+.IP "\fB\-all\-options\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-all-options"
+Normally options not regarding the current architecture are not shown.
+Giving this cmd line option allows to configure settings in the
+final tlpdb that do not have any immediate effect.
+.IP "\fB\-portable\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-portable"
+Start the installer for portable use\-\-\-but use the \f(CW\*(C`tl\-portable\*(C'\fR
+scripts instead of this option. See below for details.
+.IP "\fB\-print\-arch\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-print-arch"
+Print the detected arch-os combination and exit.
+.IP "\fB\-force\-arch\fR \fIarch-os\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-force-arch arch-os"
+Instead of auto-detecting the current platform use the one given on the
+cmd line. Make sure that there are binaries for this platform and they
+can actually be run.
+.IP "\fB\-profile\fR \fIprofile\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-profile profile"
+Load the \fIprofile\fR file for repeated installations on different systems.
+A \fIprofile\fR contains the values of all necessary variable for the
+installation. After normal installation has finished a profile for that
+exact installation is written into DEST/tlpkg/texlive.profile. That file
+can be used to do the exact same installation on a different computer.
+.Sp
+You can also hand-craft such a profile starting from a generated one
+by changing some values. Normally a profile has to contain the value 1 for
+each collection that should be installed, even if the scheme is specified.
+That follows from the logic of the installer that you first select a scheme
+and then can change the actual collections being installed.
+.Sp
+There is one exception to this: If the profile contains a variable for
+\&\fBselected_scheme\fR and \fIno\fR collection variable is defined in the
+profile, then the collections which the specified scheme requires are
+installed. Thus, a simple line \f(CW\*(C`selected_scheme scheme\-medium\*(C'\fR
+together with the definitions of the paths (\f(CW\*(C`TEXDIR\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`TEXDIRW\*(C'\fR,
+\&\f(CW\*(C`TEXMFHOME\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`TEXMFLOCAL\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`TEXMFSYSCONFIG\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`TEXMFSYSVAR\*(C'\fR) suffices
+to install the medium scheme with all default options.
+.IP "\fB\-scheme\fR \fIscheme\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-scheme scheme"
+Schemes are the highest level of package grouping in TeX Live; the
+default is to use the \f(CW\*(C`full\*(C'\fR scheme, which includes everything. This
+option overrides that default. You can change the scheme again before
+the actual installation with the usual menu. The \fIscheme\fR argument may
+optionally have a prefix \f(CW\*(C`scheme\-\*(C'\fR. The list of supported scheme names
+depends on what your installation location provides; see the interactive
+menu list.
+.IP "\fB\-custom\-bin\fR \fIpath\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-custom-bin path"
+In case your architecture is not supported by TeX Live out of the box
+and you have built your own binaries for your system, this option allows
+to give the \fIpath\fR to a directory where ready made binaries for your
+system are present. The installation will continue as normally, but at
+the end all files from \fIpath\fR are copied over to \f(CW\*(C`bin/custom\*(C'\fR in your
+installation folder and this directory will be added to the path for
+the postinstall actions.
+.IP "\fB\-debug\-translation\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-debug-translation"
+This switch will make install-tl report any missing or probably
+untranslated messages in the \s-1GUI\s0 installers to \s-1STDERR\s0.
+.IP "\fB\-q\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-q"
+Omit normal informational messages.
+.IP "\fB\-v\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-v"
+Include debugging messages; repeat for maximum debugging, as in \f(CW\*(C`\-v
+\&\-v\*(C'\fR. (Further repeats are accepted but ignored.)
+.IP "\fB\-logfile\fR \fIfile\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-logfile file"
+Write both all messages (informational, debugging, warnings) to \fIfile\fR,
+in addition to standard output or standard error.
+.Sp
+If this option is not given, the installer will create a log file
+in the root of the writable installation tree,
+for example, \f(CW\*(C`/usr/local/texlive/YYYY/install\-tl.log\*(C'\fR for the \fI\s-1YYYY\s0\fR
+release.
+.IP "\fB\-\-help\fR, \fB\-help\fR, \fB\-?\fR" 4
+.IX Item "--help, -help, -?"
+Display this help and exit.
+.IP "\fB\-\-version\fR, \fB\-version\fR" 4
+.IX Item "--version, -version"
+Output version information and exit.
+.PP
+As usual, all options can be specified with either \f(CW\*(C`\-\*(C'\fR or \f(CW\*(C`\-\-\*(C'\fR, and
+arguments can be be separated from their options by either a space or \f(CW\*(C`=\*(C'\fR.
+.SH "PORTABLE USE"
+.IX Header "PORTABLE USE"
+The TeX Live root directory contains a shell script \f(CW\*(C`tl\-portable.sh\*(C'\fR
+and a \s-1DOS\s0 batch file \f(CW\*(C`tl\-portable.bat\*(C'\fR which start up a new shell and
+command prompt in which TeX Live can be run with minimal impact on the
+host system. These files start up \f(CW\*(C`install\-tl\*(C'\fR with the
+\&\f(CW\*(C`\-portable\*(C'\fR option for some minimal preparation. Don't use this option
+directly; it makes very specific assumptions about its environment.
+.SH "AUTHORS AND COPYRIGHT"
+.IX Header "AUTHORS AND COPYRIGHT"
