wget -r http://tug.org/ftp/texlive/Contents/inst
This is the content of the install CD. Run this command in a
temporary directory and execute install-tl.sh .
install-tl.sh is an interactive tool, that's probably not exactly what
you want. But maybe it is sufficient to unzip all files in the
archive directory.
