Per a chat that Kevin, Carsten, and I were having today, I sent an email to the TexLive User Group, and asked why symlinks weren't enabled by default. This is the response that I received back from one of the members. Have a great day:) Patrick. --- Begin Message --- Hi Patrick, I'm curious i

Hi Tejas, When you hit "L", it should prompt you for each directory (and have the default in the brackets). If it doesn't have the defaults there, then here are what you'll select (based on my setup right now) > create symlinks in standard directories: [X] > binaries to: /usr/local

Thanks for the help, Patrick. You guessed it right, I didn't pay attention and forgot to select the symlinks option. I uninstalled texlive and restarted the process. After running install-tl, I entered O and then L. Upon entering O, I am asked for 'New value for Binary directory', 'New value fo

The issue is that there are many translated strings that are deleted in precise-e2. I checked the Greek translation yesterday and the loss was about 100 strings, not huge deal but it is very tiring for the translators. The translation of the book is also quite big, it's 1850 strings and many trans
