Hi,

thanks for all your help. I appreciate it. I used another server during 
the night and it went quiet well. I never got to the point to get the 
help for install-tl. Whenever I executed install-tl --help it only 
showed the source of the sh script.

The version is $Id: install-tl 12715 2009-04-14 00:06:37Z karl $. Maybe 
this is known or the problem is because of some configuration with my 
installation.

But now it worked. Thanks again for the quick response!

Cheers,
    Torsten
