Hi friends!

Another bunch of comments, this time on install-tl.sh:

-     <O> options:
       [ ] alternate directory for generated fonts ()
       [ ] create symlinks in standard directories
       [ ] do not install macro/font doc tree
       [X] do not install macro/font source tree
pressing `O' I cannot select "do not install macro/font doc tree", if I
press `S' in the next menu I only get "do not install macro/font source
tree".

- running install:
install-tl.sh: line 948: /mnt/tpm/lists/lib-expat: file or directory not found

lots of: .caution: excluded filename not matched:  texmf/source\*

at the end there is *NO* bin directory, nothing executable!
...
Testing for /usr/local/norb/TeX/bin//texconfig....
updating map files 
...


then there are in INSTPATH/texmf-local/*...*/local directories with
mode drwxr-sr-x, which looks suspicous.


Hope this helps.

Best wishes

Norbert
