Thanks for your advices. As Max suggested, I also downloaded
tl-install.exe on my USB stick, and decided to challenge our connections
rather than downloading the 6 GB iso, not knowing which distro will be
installed.
Texlive it was, since my attempt with ConTeXt distribution failed
(install.bat was launched, but aborted quite quickly. I suspect batch
scripts are blocked at user's level for security reasons because I had
later the same issue with tlmgr.bat).
I managed to make a minimal install (base + context + several font
packages); since I was almost the only one at school, it was done in 11
minutes. But connecting with tlmgr to a server in order to install
additional fonts took some time (10 minutes). When connected, it went
swiftly. And this time I didn't repeat the mistake I made when I gave
our sysadmin the instructions to install texlive on the professor's room
computer: my $TEXMF is set on my Z:/ disk, accessible from anywhere in
our school's network.
I also hope tl perl ant tc/tlk will spare me a perl distro installation:
I use a lot of perl script, but based on vanilla perl.
