-\begin{ttdescription}
-\item[-portable] Install for portable use on \emph{e.g.} a
- \acro{USB} stick. Also selectable from within the perltk- and text
- installers; see section~\ref{sec:portable-tl}.
-
-\item[-in-place] If you already have an rsync- or svn checkout of
- \TL{} then this option will use it as-is and just do the necessary
- post-install. Be warned that the file
- \filename{tlpkg/texlive.tlpdb} may be rewritten, and that removal
- has to be done manually. This option cannot be toggled via the
- installer interface.

-\subsection{Creating a portable installation}
-\label{sec:portable-tl}
-
-The portable installer option creates a completely self-contained
-TeX Live installation under a common root and forgoes system
-integration. You can create such an installation directly on a
-\acro{USB} stick or copy it to a USB stick afterwards.
-
-If you want to run this portable installation, you need to add the
-appropriate binary directory to the searchpath during your terminal
-session. For Windows, you can double-click a batchfile
-\filename{tlmenu.bat} in the root of the installation that lets you
-choose between a few tasks:
-\begin{verbatim}
-=== TeX Live Menu ===
-
-1 TeX Live command prompt
-2 Managing the installation
-3 TeXWorks
-Q Quit
-
-Make a choice
-\end{verbatim}
-
-\subsection{Running from \acro{ISO} or \acro{DVD}}
-
-If you don't update or modify your installation too often, and have
-several systems on which to use \TL{}, it may be convenient to
-create an \acro{ISO} of your \TL{} installation:
-
-\begin{itemize}
-\item Copying an \acro{ISO} between different computers is much
- faster than copying a normal installation.
-\item If you are dual-booting between different operating systems
- and want them to share a \TL{} installation, an \acro{ISO}
- installation is not tied to the idiosyncracies and limitations of
- other mutually supported filesystems (\acro{FAT32}, \acro{NTFS},
- \acro{HFS+}).
-\item Virtual machines can simply mount such an \acro{ISO}.
-\end{itemize}
-
-When preparing for an \acro{ISO}- or \acro{DVD} installation, it
-makes sense not to have a subdirectory for the year, but to have
-\filename{texmf-local} at the same level as the other trees
-(\filename{texmf}, \filename{texmf-dist} etc.).
-
-\subsubsection{How to use}
-
-Desktop Unix/Linux systems, including Mac OS X, are able to mount an
-\acro{ISO}. Apart from that, nothing changes compared to a normal
-hard disk installation, see section \ref{sec:env}.
-
-For a physical (rather than virtual) Windows system, you can burn
-the \acro{ISO} to \acro{DVD}. However, it may be worth your while to
-investigate free \acro{ISO}-mounting options. For Windows XP,
-Microsoft itself offers \filename{winxpvirtualcdcontrolpanel}.
-
-For Windows system integration, you can include the
-\filename{w32client} scripts described in \ref{sec:netinstall} and
-\url{http://www.tug.org/texlive/w32client.html}, which work just as
-well for an \acro{ISO}- as for a network installation.
-
-For Mac OS X, TeXshop and TeXworks will be able to use the
-\acro{DVD} installation if a symlink \filename{/usr/texbin} points
-to the appropriate binary directory, \emph{e.g.}
-\begin{verbatim}
-sudo ln -s /Volumes/MyTeXLive/bin/universal-darwin /usr/texbin
-\end{verbatim}
-
-\textbf{Note.} \TL{} 2010 was the first \TL{} edition which was no
-longer `live'. But it always required some acrobatics to run earlier
-versions from \acro{DVD} or \acro{ISO}. In particular, there was no
-way around setting at least one extra environment variable. If you
-create your \acro{ISO} from an existing installation then there is
-no need for this.
