[texhax] installing TexLive

[Fernando Gouvea]

I'm trying to install TeXLive on my laptop. The CTAN site suggests 
downloading install-tl.zip and then running the batch file. I just did 
that, and install-tl seems to hang after several preliminary stuff 
(setting PATH and so on), at the point where it calls perl. The window 
just stays there and nothing happens. After a while, I get tired and hit 
control-C, and it stops.

Any ideas?

Fernando

It is against the grain of modern education to teach children to program. What fun is there in making plans, acquiring discipline in organizing thoughts, devoting attention to detail, and learning to be self-critical?
