Hi everyone.  I think the pretest area is populated with the first build
for TL 2021. See https://tug.org/texlive/pretest.html as usual for
details of how to install (unchanged from previous years)


OK, I have rsynch'd the Slovenian mirror into C:\TeX\Live\2021\Pre-test, and unzipped 'install-tl.zip' to create C:\TeX\Live\2021\Pre-test\install-tl-20210226.  Following the instructions at https://tug.org/texlive/pretest.html & https://tug.org/texlive/doc/install-tl.html, and wishing to install from my local rsynch'd mirror, I have typed (at a CMD prompt)

install-tl-windows -select-repository

which, according to https://tug.org/texlive/doc/install-tl.html, should "offer to install from local media if available".  It did not.  It offered me only online mirrors.  How do I persuade 'install-tl-windows.bat' to install from local media ?
