perl install-tl fails: Can't exec "mktexlsr": Permission denied at tlpkg/TeXLive/TLUtils.pm line 667

[Philip Lists]

Thank you Norbert, Zdenek, Karl:

1. The target filesystem was inadvertently mounted noexec. I have
remounted and will try again.

2. Is there any way to restart an install without redoing the
successful downloads?

3. Does 'ls-R file' mean a file named 'ls-R' ?

Thanks,
Philip
