[tex-live] tlmgr on Ubuntu linux?

Well, I finally installed TeX Live manually on Ubuntu 8.10; I used the ISO
image.
However, I had to add manually the bin path to my .bashrc, in order to
access the files. Is this usual?

I haven't been able to update neither tlmgr nor TeX Live.

Any tips?

Thanks!
