[tex-live] Problems installing TL'2012 PreTest

[Yury Donskoy]

I did! 3 hours later, I have what appears to be a fully-functional TL'2012
installation. I didn't realize before that it required a install-tl file
from the tlpretest server; the instructions weren't explicit in that
respect(at least, I didn't think so). It compiles my documents, producing
pdf files of identical size to TL'2011. Now, if only I could get TeXWorks
to accept my TL'2012 installation, but that's a fight for another day! I
think it's just environment variables are the issue at the moment. [?]

Thanks for your help, guys.
