[tex-live] Where is the root dir of my Tex Live installation

[Lars Madsen]

First of all

Did you remember to setup your PATH correctly after installing TL?

I have tlmgr in

/opt/texlive/current/bin/i386-linux/tlmgr

(because I asked it to install it in /opt/texlive)

try a 

locate tlmgr

(perhaps you will need a sudo updatedb first)

I have installed from that Link:

http://tug.org/texlive/
the installation over internet.
But tlmgr was not installed.

Now I have downloaded an install package to install tlmgr.
The lines I put in my last mail where from that installation.
To finish it I should know where the root directory of my TEX
Installation is.

"where does this 'runme.sh' come from?"
 From the installscript of tlmgr.

I have found some directories belonging to TEX Live but dont know which
is the necessary root dir.
