<pre wrap="">Hi everyone. I think the pretest area is populated with the first build
for TL 2021. See <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://tug.org/texlive/pretest.html">https://tug.org/texlive/pretest.html</a> as usual for
details of how to install (unchanged from previous years)

OK, I have re-synch'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 <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://tug.org/texlive/pretest.html">https://tug.org/texlive/pretest.html</a> &
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://tug.org/texlive/doc/install-tl.html">https://tug.org/texlive/doc/install-tl.html</a>, and wishing to install
from my local rsynch'd mirror, I have typed (at a CMD prompt) <br>
<br>
<blockquote type="cite">install-tl-windows -select-repository</blockquote>
<br>
which, according to <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://tug.org/texlive/doc/install-tl.html">https://tug.org/texlive/doc/install-tl.html</a>,
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 ?<br>
