-<h1>The TeX Live installer</h1>
-This is the installation program of the TeX Live distribution.
-<p>
-The installation procedure is simple: just go through the
-menus until you are happy with the way all options are set up,
-and then do <tt>&lt;I&gt;</tt> (start installation).
-<p>
-To select a menu item (a letter or a number marked with brackets)
-just enter the corresponding letter or number and press return
-(the letters are case insensitive except when collections
-are being selected). Do not enter the angle brackets <tt>&lt;&gt;</tt> themselves.
-<p>
-We will now consider each menu item in more detail:
-
-<h2>The binary systems menu (<tt>&lt;B&gt;</tt>)</h2>
-
-The systems menu allows you to select and deselect the binary
-packages for various different platforms. You cannot install Unix
-binaries on Windows but vice versa.
-
-<h2>The schemes menu (<tt>&lt;S&gt;</tt>)</h2>
-
-You can choose from a number of different installation schemes
-for TeX Live. Selecting one of these selects some collections
-in the Collections and Languages lists which you can subsequently
-modify.
-
-<h2>The collections menu (<tt>&lt;C&gt;</tt>)</h2>
-
-The collections menu allows you to select and deselect standard
-collections. Each collection &mdash; TeX macro files, Metafont font
-families, and so on &mdash; consists of several packages.
-<p>
-More than one collection can be selected/deselected at the same time.
-
-<h2>The language collections menu (<tt>&lt;L&gt;</tt>)</h2>
-
-The language collections menu allows you to select and deselect
-language support collections. Each collection consists of several
-packages, which provide features like hyphenation files and fonts.
-<p>
-More than one collection can be selected/deselected at the same time.
-
-<h2>The directories menu (<tt>&lt;D&gt;</tt>)</h2>
-
-The TeX Live distribution will be installed in a single directory tree
-(<tt>TEXDIR</tt>). You may choose any directory you like since there are
-no absolute paths compiled into the binaries. Instead, the Kpathsea
-library selfdir feature ensures that all paths are relative to the
-plocation of the binaries.
-<p>
-The platform independent files are stored in a directory tree in
-<tt>TEXDIR/texmf</tt>. There are also extra directories for performing
-administrative tasks like change of configuration and languages. They
-default to <tt>TEXDIR/texmf-var</tt> and <tt>TEXDIR/texmf-config</tt>.
-<p>
-This system allows you to mount your <tt>TEXDIR/texmf</tt> tree read-only.
-
-<h2>The options menu (<tt>&lt;O&gt;</tt>)</h2>
-
-The options are not applicable to all installations. Set them as
-appropriate for yours.
-
-<h3>use letter size instead of a4 by default</h3>
-
-You can choose letter as the default paper size for some programs.
-
-<h3>create all format files</h3>
-
-If this option is set, format files are created for system-wide use
-by the installer. Otherwise they are will be created automatically
-when needed.
-<p>
-In the latter case format files are stored in user's directory trees
-and in some cases have to be re-created when new packages are
-installed.
-
-<h3>install doc or source trees</h3>
-
-Normally all packages are installed with the source and documentation,
-but these are not needed to actually run the software. If you
-are installing a system for other people, it would be unfriendly to
-select these options; if you know what you are doing and need a
-minimal disk footprint, go ahead
-
-<h3>symlinks in standard directories (UNIX only)</h3>
-
-You can make the binaries, man pages, and info files available on your
-system in either (or both) of two ways:
-<ol>
- <li> install them in <i>standard places</i> that are searched for these files
- <li> change your search paths to include the new directories
-</ol>
-If you select the <i>symlinks</i> option, symbolic links will be installed in
-the directories you choose. Note that if you share the TeX Live installation
-accross several machines across NFS and if the chosen <i>standard places</i> are
-not shared, you need to create the symbolic links on each client, too
-(or use method 2 on your clients).
-<p>
-If you do not use the <i>symlinks</i> option, you probably need to set up
-your search paths (<tt>PATH</tt>, <tt>MANPATH</tt>, <tt>INFOPATH</tt>).
-
-<h2>Install for running from DVD (<tt>&lt;V&gt;</tt>)</h2>
-
-This option sets up a minimal setup which allows TeX Live to
-be run directly from the DVD.
-<p>
-A few directories on the hard disk have to be created for files
-created by the TeX system itsef and for modified configuration files.
-Please change <tt>TEXDIRW</tt> first in the directories menu <tt>&lt;D&gt;</tt>.
