By executing './install-tl'

See below.

OK, let's see what I did step by step.
First, I ran these commands:

tar -xf texlive-20080816-source.tar.lzma
tar -xf texlive-20080822-bin.tar.lzma
tar -xf texlive-20080822-extra.tar.lzma
tar -xf texlive-20080822-texmf.tar.lzma
find -name TLUtils.pm

and got no output.  I specifically checked that the file in question has
the following location in the iso image: 'tlpkg/TeXLive/TLUtils.pm'.
Are you still convinced that the tarball archives are identical to the
iso image?


Then I did this:

mkdir texlive
mv texlive-20080816-source/* texlive/
mv texlive-20080822-bin/* texlive/
mv texlive-20080822-extra/* texlive/
mv texlive-20080822-texmf/* texlive/
cd texlive
./install-tl

and got this:

Can't locate TeXLive/TLUtils.pm in @INC (@INC contains: ./tlpkg

What things did I mess up?
