You will, of course, replace any customizations your friend has  
previously set up.  If this is a problem, then do a

cd /usr/local/texlive
tar czvf texmf-local.tar.gz texmf-local

on your machine, and a

cd /usr/local/texlive
sudo tar xzvpf texmf-local.tar.gz

on his.  That way you will merge your directory with his.  CAUTION:  
if there are any files with the exact same name and path, your files  
will over write his---not too likely though.
