Here is the procedure on Linux to install TeXLive 2008: 1) Download the netinstaller (e.g. in /tmp) cd /tmp wget http://mirrors.ircam.fr/pub/CTAN/systems/texlive/tlnet/2008/install-tl-unx.tar.gz 2) Decompress and untar gunzip -c install-tl-unx.tar.gz | tar xof - 3) Run the installer (as root) cd install-tl sudo ./install-tl <selection of required packages, languages and documentation (here I keep all packages and load only the French language and English and French docs), keep the default location /usr/local/texlive/2008/ and ask for installation, I have 1610 files to upload)> .... sevaral hours later, install procedure is achieved 4) Customize if needed (texconfig run, and texmf local stuff e.g.) 5) Change the PATH export PATH=/usr/local/texlive/2008/bin/i386-linux:$PATH in a test cammand window (or permanently in the .bashrc file or similar) Not a big deal then. -- Jean-Pierre
