rk> The only reason for a non-interactive installation is that you
have to install TeX Live on many machines.
I disagree that that is the only reason. Non-interactive installations
are easier to document, easier to explain to friends, easier to work
into other scripts, and so on. I like them. Anyway.
Artemio, obviously we did not try to preserve the old installer's
behavior of inheriting environment variables. (I did not actually know
it did that; doesn't seem like such a great thing, actually.)
So, you'll need to do the whole thing as a here document, including
setting the directories, <r>eturning to the main menu, etc. That's what
I always did for my testing.
Best,
Karl
