I am sorry, George, I completely disagree. Someone seeking to
install TeX Live can reasonably be assumed to know a little about
computer typesetting and a little about using the operating system
of his/her choice; there is no <i>a priori</i> evidence that he or
she knows anything more. Therefore, to expect such a user to
locate, download and install "a suitable downloader" is (IMHO)
completelu unreasonable. A suitable downloader should form an
integral part of the TeX Live installer, and automatically come
therewith.<br>
