So after waiting until the last minute to do this, I uninstall 
everything in my former tetex installation (using i-installer).

I chose FULL install.

Everthing looked ok until the configure stage at which point I get 
the following messages:

### texlive.configure: Started...
### texlive.configure: I have found /usr/local/gwTeX. No migration necessary.
### texlive.configure: System wide configuration, pre-TL2005-style.
### texlive.configure: /usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.local does not exist. Creating.

Creating default.

### texlive.configure: fmtutil.cnf does not contain TL2004 structure.
### texlive.configure: I cannot locate the kpsewhich program. If this 
cannot be found, configuration is impossible. I will bail out...

And so installation fails.

I don't know how to do this.  There doesn't seem to be a setting for 
this.  But I mailed the report from within i-installer.

What did I do wrong?
