Thanks Bob. I just added it a couple days ago. Because I can't give a<br>
one-size-fits-all command sequence to do the big copy while preserving<br>
symlinks, I was reluctant to make it too prominent, but I will ponder.<br>
<br>
I'm afraid "whatever your TL-current directory is" <br>
<br>
Ok, I'll try to reword. The idea is to copy the directory of the TL<br>
installation that's getting updated nightly. I guess by default that<br>
would be /usr/local/texlive/2023 (for the 2024 pretest), but OTOH some<br>
people (or maybe it's just me) keep /2023 to be the initial release and<br>
use a different directory for the "up-to-the-minute" install. Hmm.<br>
<br>
Thanks for the feedback. -k<br>
