One small comment
do not do this
mkdir TL09-test
cd TL09-test
wget http://ftp.klid.dk/ftp/texlive/tlnet/install-tl-unx.tar.gz
tar zxvf install-tl-unx.tar.gz
cd install-tl
./install-tl -location http://ftp.klid.dk/ftp/texlive/tlnet/
and then ask it to install in TL09-test (in my case
/home/testuser/TL09-test), aka the dir where we just created install-tl
because then when the texlive-scripts gets installed tar complains:
tar: install-tl: Cannot open: File exists
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
untar: untarring /home/testuser/TL09-test/temp/texlive-scripts.tar
failed (in /home/testuser/TL09-test)
untarring /home/testuser/TL09-test/temp/texlive-scripts.tar failed,
stopping install.
Installation failed.
Will try a better installation test tomorrow.
BTW: at the start of the installation I get a lot of these:
Unknown category Documentation for package AroBend found.
Please update texlive.infra.
Unknown category Documentation for package FAQ-en found.
Please update texlive.infra.
Unknown category Documentation for package MemoirChapStyles found.
Please update texlive.infra.
Unknown category Documentation for package Type1fonts found.
Please update texlive.infra.
...
is this normal?
