Dear colleague:<BR>
<BR>
I have been a Unix/Linux user (programmer) for over 15 years now.<BR>
And on Fedora x86_64, I have a pretty hard time to get the install (from ISO) to work !<BR>
I only used the default install. (install-tl script) with all default options.<BR>
I did set the PATH as usual (this seems to work), but there is more. (where I probably have a problem)<BR>
<BR>
This used to work out of the box, several years ago, perhaps seven or nine !<BR>
Now I am in "environment variables hell"<BR>
<BR>
Of course, I do know how to debug and fix this... and I will.<BR>
However could I suggest that a simple install procedure for the most popular Linuxes (today Ubuntu+derivatives) and Red-Hat derivative be available.<BR>
<BR>
Could I also suggest that mixing Window/Mac/Linux install in the same documentation is not such a great idea : makes everything bulkier and harder to read than necessary.<BR>
<BR>
For myself (technical guy) I would be happy to have a manual install.<BR>
But for many non-technical Latex users, a seamless and simple install which works "straight out of the box" would be great, GUI or NOT.<BR>
Ideally a distro package doing exactly this would be he best !'<BR>
But whatever is simple to use... and work would do the job !<BR>
<BR>
Let me know, if and how I could help.<BR>
<BR>
Thanks<BR>
Andre Gompel<BR>
